Telangana Officials Raid Hyderabad Rice Dealers for Weight and Licensing Violations
The Telangana Civil Supplies Department conducted surprise raids on rice dealers across Hyderabad, uncovering irregularities such as underweight rice bags, uncertified weighing machines, and lack of trade licenses. Officials seized rice brands and collected samples for further examination, citing concerns over cheating and tax evasion. Legal and criminal actions are planned against violators. These checks followed meetings addressing rising food grain prices. Separately, Delhi authorities seized nearly 949 litres of ghee during anti-adulteration raids in multiple markets.
