According to the Essential Commodities Act, TamilNadu and few other states has tightly dealt with the accumulators.
Officials have been kept on observing the outlay of the basic commodities, both in the wholesale and retail markets.
Spaced out from usual raids and capturing the offenders, the state civil supplies department involves themselves in delivering the vital basic commodities at an affordable cost via co-operative outlets including Chintamani and Kamadenu shops.
The Union Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley mentioned that the �Speculative Hoarding� grounds the basic reason for the rise of the prices of the essential supplies and he urged the state to take measuring steps against it.
Even though the co-operative stores are very restricted in numbers and may not entirely carry out the hassles of the people, the minimal prices at which we vend the commodities will compel the open market to marginal lower prices, an official said.
The civil supplies CID police perceive 9,390 gears of smuggling and hoarding during 2013 and capture 1,545 vehicles and detained 6,439 offenders.
We have informers all over the state and snitch smugglers and hoarders based on the data from them, says a senior official of the Tamil Nadu civil supplies CID. Deeds Accomplished by Civil Supplies CID includes:
Year- 2012
