Wheat strengthens on restricted arrivals

Wheat prices went up by Rs 10 per quintal at the wholesale grains market today on increased offtake by flour mills.
However, rice basmati turned weak on subdued demand at prevailing levels.
Traders said increased offtake by flour mills in view of rising demand supported the upside in wheat prices.
