Government on Tuesday said it is considering importing 5,000 tonnes of urad dal to improve domestic availability and check price rise. Retail prices of most pulses including <g data-gr-id="24">tur</g> have breached Rs100 per kg mark in most parts of the country due to supply crunch in the wake of a decline in domestic production by nearly 2 mn tonnes in 2014-15 crop year on account of unfavourable weather conditions. A tender has been floated for import of 5,000 tonnes of tur dal and shipments are expected to reach by September, Consumer Affairs Secretary C Viswanath informed.
