Centre has clarified that stock limits imposed on Pulses through Order dated 2nd July have not been removed and are being enforced. Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has said that government is closely monitoring the implementation of these Orders by the States.

It said that the Centre has also shared information with the States where there is a mismatch between the stocks declared by the Stockists on the portal developed by Department of Consumer Affairs and loans taken from the Bank for pulses stocks or the quantity imported by importers. It said that states have been asked to take strict action against all those violating the stock limits.
