Salt dearer by 25 paise after RBI withdrew 25 paise


Ranchi : With the Reserve Bank of India recently withdrawing 25 paise coin from circulation, Jharkhand government has to revise its decision from selling salt at 25 paise to 50 paise per kg to BPL families. "Now that 25 paise is not in circulation we have decided to sell salt at 50 paise per kg to families under below poverty line," Public Distribution Minister, Mahtura Prasad Mahto told reporters here today. A month after the cabinet had approved to sell salt at 25 paise per kg, the Arjun Munda cabinet had yesterday revised it to 50 paise after the RBI last month withdrew 25 paise coin from circulation.
