The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved the inclusion of onion and potato under the purview of stock holding limits under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. This will empower the state governments to undertake de-hoarding operations and to control the prices of onions and potatoes. This decision is expected to help in the efforts being taken to tackle the problem of rising prices and also improve the availability of these commodities to the general public especially vulnerable sections.
