"We are bound to buy our products from Shillong by compromising tastes as local products are seeking double price", a businessman at Gol Bazar told TIWN.
Citing example of price differences, the shop-keeper said, "If green chilli, price is Rs. 60 which came from Shillong, but Tripura's local green chillis are of Rs. 120 and in all commodities, in similar way prices are high. Thus we are collecting products from Shilling".
Customers has slammed the situation saying that whole year they are bound to buy vegetables at high price. The buyers also pointed, flood happened in all states. Thus, why in case of Tripura rates are too high ?
Opposition CPI-M has blamed the ruling BJP Govt for not compensating the flood hit farmers with whom during flood, CM and his Ministers, party leaders took heavy mileage with "crocodiles tears" but now not giving compensations for last two floods.
