The CPI today demanded a ban on forward trading in grain, saying that it leads to hoarding. | |
| Terming the government's decision to import grain and sugar to check rise in prices as "too little, if not too late", CPI General Secretary AB Bardhan said the "wrong market-oriented" policies were responsible for the country going back to the days of dependence on grain imports. |
| |
| The governemnt should go for procurement from farmers and ensuring them remunerative prices rather than relying on imports, including by private traders, he said. |
