The President has directed the authorities to raid stores of traders who sell rice above the maximum retail price, the PMD said.
The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has currently re-issued a new Maximum Retail Price (MRP) order for three varieties of rice, with the inclusion of locally milled rice.
The consumers are also requested to call hotline 1977 to complain any errant rice sales anywhere from Sri Lanka.
