Border control agencies need to ensure that substandard material does not enter the food supply chain
In a welcome move, the government has liberalised import of certain pulses to counter rising prices amid tightening availability and threat of food inflation. The three pulse varieties tur/arhar (pigeon pea), urad (black matpe) and moong (green gram) under quantitative restriction since August 2017 are now under ‘Free’ import category until October 31 this year.
Importantly, these are the three major pulse crops cultivated in the Kharif season, planting for which will start in June. While the liberal import policy will have a salutary effect on open market prices, there are also some associated risks that the policymakers must consider and address.

The Border Force chief who was last night accused of causing huge delays at Heathrow Airport by splitting the workforce into rigid and inflexible bubbles has landed a senior role with NHS Test and Trace.
It is understood that Chief Operating Officer Emma Moore instructed Border Force agents to work in 12-person bubbles at the West London airport, in an apparent bid to prevent the spread of mutant Covid variants.
But the bubble policy, which first came into force on December 31, has been blamed for much of the mayhem experienced by thousands of passengers trying to clear passport checks at Heathrow Airport last week.
