New Delhi, September 9

To check hoarding as well as contain edible oil prices, the Centre on Thursday asked state governments to gather details about stocks of edible oils and oilseeds from traders, millers, refiners and other stockists.

Food and Public Distribution Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey is expected to hold a meeting with state officials tomorrow to ensure that the order was followed, officials said, adding that the government was keeping a “close watch” on daily prices and imports of edible oils so that it could take appropriate measures to check rates. — TNS
