Late monsoon, heavy rain hit veggie supply, push up prices
1 2 Kolkata: Monsoon's delayed onset in Bengal, followed by heavy rainfall, led to the flooding of fields, which in turn, affected the production as well as quality of key vegetables, pushing up prices at wholesale as well as retail markets in the city. Moreover, labourer shortage faced by farmers during the rainy season has added to the supply disruption. The rise in prices prompted members of the state task force to inspect major vegetable markets in the city, including Entally and New Market, on Monday. The team reported a significant price difference between the fares at these two locations, with the Entally market's vegetables selling for considerably higher rates than that at New Market. "In Entally, prices are consistently higher than that at New Market retail stalls," said Kamal De, task force member and president of West Bengal Vendors' Association. "We've asked the local police station to keep a watch on pricing practices there." De acknowledged multiple factors contributed to the price rise. "Farmers were not receiving fair prices for raw vegetables in the markets for several weeks. Also, during the rainy season, they faced severe labourer shortage," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo "Also, the delayed onset of monsoon, followed by heavy rain, affected the quality." Farmers in areas like Bhangar, who primarily cultivate their produces in low-lying fields, were hit the hardest. Latif Gazi, a farmer there, blamed three days of continuous rain for the poor quality. "Ridge gourd, bitter gourd and cucumber lost their natural colour. Many okra plants have wilted and their flowers dropped off," he said.

"We expect prices to stabilise within a week as the monsoon sets in more evenly and supply chain is restored," said De. But for consumers, like Garia's Sudarshan Ghosh, a govt college librarian, the price shock is real. "It's unthinkable that humble okra, ridge gourd and brinjal are selling for Rs 80-100 per kg. These are not exotic items," he said. As the administration intensifies check and interventions, consumers hope for swift relief. "If the rain is equitably distributed across the region, there won't be any problem. But that is not happening. After a long dry spell, there is a sudden deluge, causing rotting of roots," said Biswanath Das, an agriculture expert.

PMC initiates structural audit of civic schools, activists flag delay
1 2 3 Pune: PMC on Tuesday issued tenders for structural audit of municipal school buildings for which it would spend around Rs 1 crore. Citizens said that the process should have been completed before the start of the academic session in schools. Already, monsoon has arrived, and heavy showers have affected several areas in the city. If the audit was completed before the start of monsoon, it would have helped in carrying out necessary maintenance and repairs of schools, said activists. Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) areas have around 180 civic school buildings in its jurisdiction, including merged areas. Along with structural audit of school buildings, PMC wants to carry out audit of other civic properties. "The audit should be carried out in time and it must be followed by timely repairs. If not, then the whole exercise will remain just a formality. Many pupils study in very bad condition at civic schools. The audit should have been completed before monsoon," said Deepali Sardeshmukh of Maharashtra Rajya Vidyarthi Palak Shikshak Mahasangh.

Another teacher said more such audits are needed for schools in the merged areas. Inspections would highlight lack of infrastructure in civic schools. "The process of mergers and demergers has adversely impacted schools in the merged areas. They are being ignored by PMC and other local self-governing agencies. Neither financial aid nor adequate manpower is provided for managing these schools. Students are left with no option but to suffer due to poor infrastructure and hygiene," he said.

Nearly 1 lakh students, mostly from deprived classes, study in these institutions. "Audits will be carried out in a phased manner. Old school buildings will be given priority," said Rohidas Gavhane, a senior official of PMC. The civic administration plans to install CCTV cameras in all municipal schools, with funds allocation of Rs 3 crore for this purpose.
