It also informed that all states are continuing with arrangements to sell pulses at reasonable rates ranging between Rs.120-140/kg through various retail distribution networks available.
It said that these two steps have had a salutary effect in improving the supply situation as well as in cooling down the prices of pulses both in the retail and wholesale markets.
