Showing contexts for: matsyafed in Need To Supply Kerosene To Traditional Fishermen Community. on 3 December, 2002Matching Fragments
Since the open market price of kerosene is Rs. 16/- per litre, the Government of India has increased the price of PDS kerosene from Rs. 2.50 to Rs. 8.65 per litre. Moreover, because of the insufficient quota of kerosene allocated to the Public Distribution System, the fishermen are compelled to pay the open market price for PDS kerosene in the black market. The benefit of the system is not reaching the ordinary fishermen.
In the circumstances, I would request the Government to sanction Kerosene Wholesale Dealership to Matsyafed and see that the PDS quota is distributed directly to fishermen.
