The rise in the prices of pulses is due
to several factors leading to demand & supply mismatch. Hoarding is one
such factor. De-hoarding operations are carried out by the State Governments
under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. All the States have been requested
to enforce the Act effectively. Total 116334.85 MT seized pulsed
have released in the market upto February 23, 2016. This information was
given by the Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public
Distribution, Shri Ram Vilas Paswan in a written reply in Rajya Sabha
today.

hoarders in various states during last three months is as follow:
