Hyderabad: The Agriculture Department fixes the vegetable prices daily in all the 11 Rythu bazaars in Hyderabad. However, the vendors are selling the vegetable at Rs.5-10 extra per kg than the fixed price written on the signboard which is a clear violation of the rule.
Last year between March to December, The Agriculture Department had collected Rs.16,350 as penalties from the vegetable vendors at Mehdipatnam and Rs.29,000 from the vendors at Irragadda Rythu Bazar.
It has been observed that the Rythu Bazars’ vendors at Alwal, Kukatpally, Mehdipatnam and Irragada are looting the customers. They are selling tomato at Rs.15 whereas its fixed price is Rs.10, Potato at Rs.35 instead of Rs.31 and Carrot at Rs.35 in place of Rs.25.
