DC & I has neither heard from the wholesalers individually

nor through their association about any alleged failure by inporters to

sell rice to them, nor have the wholesalers attempted to answer public

allegations by retailers about undercover payments.

The department is now urgently considering further measures

to ascertain the truth of the allegations made publicly by the retailers

against wholesalers and to this end a senior officer of the department

will be meeting representatives of retailers, wholesalers and importers

on March 6.
