NEW DELHI: Amid the Coronavirus outbreak, measures to check the price of essential commodities seem to be largely absent as shopkeepers and chemists have started selling necessary items at an increased price in Noida and across certain markets in Delhi and adjoining regions. Some chemists are charging up to Rs 206 for 100 ml bottles of sanitizers whereas grocers are selling vegetables at marked-up prices.
In Dwarka, residents have said that prices of vegetables and groceries have increased by at least 20 percent. In sector – 7, the price of potatoes, for example, has reached Rs 50 per kg, earlier which was Rs 20 per kg. “All shops are also selling essentials at the printed price. We used to earlier get discount, however everything we are buying is at printed rates,” said Sunil a resident of Sector – 8 Dwarka.
