Mamata Banerjee bans potato export to neighbouring states
- 5 years ago
Aloo mein phir se aag lag gaya, Ranchi’s Kutchery market vendor Birendra Sao thought aloud on Thursday afternoon as the Bengal ban on the staple tuberous crop had its ripple effect across vegetable mandis and kitchens.
As prices took a leap from Rs 18-20 to Rs 24-26 a kg in most parts of the state, including the capital and Jamshedpur, the humble potato vanished from the lunch plate in many homes, and the abrupt crisis prompted agriculture department mandarins to mull a missive for Mamata Banerjee.
“Yeh koi tarika hai jo Mamata Banerjee ne apnaya hai. Rajyon ki aapsi vyapaar se hi desh chalta hai. Lekin Bangal sarkar ne aloo rajya ke bahar le jane par rok laga diya (What kind of a ridiculous stance has Mamata Banerjee adopted. Trade among states helps runs a country. And here, the Bengal government has banned transportation of potatoes),” said Ganesh Shah, another wholesaler.
