The State government could control the price surge while ensuring the quality of food items, Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil has said.
He was inaugurating the opening of the Padapanal Maveli store that was upgraded as Supplyco supermarket in Thevalakkara grama panchayat.
“Controlling price hike by ensuring fair prices is a priority of the government. In addition to the subsidy, various products are available at a discount of 5% to 30% when Maveli stores are upgraded as super markets. Currently, 13 essential items are being sold at subsidised rates in Kerala and more products will be added to the market,” said the Minister.
