Packed foods and beverages were being sold at higher prices in the guise of select channel at railway stations, bus station complexes and at multiplexes across the State, Minister for Civil Supplies Prathipati Pulla Rao said here on Wednesday.
‘Plea to consumers’
After conducting a surprise inspection at the railway station here on Wednesday, the Minister asked people to lodge a complaint by dialling 1100 in case of irregularities.
Mr. Pulla Rao went around the food stalls on platform no 1 and sought to know the opinion of the passengers.
He checked the mineral water kiosk and enquired about the quality certification of the plant.
The checks took place in the wake of complaints regarding eatables, soft drinks, and packed food, being sold at prices higher than the MRP.
