No sugar shortage for Tihar, say traders
With Lakshmi Puja tonight, families across Nepal are busy making sweets and sel roti. Government agencies and traders say there is enough sugar, rice, pulses and cooking oil for the festival.
The Salt Trading Corporation holds about 11,700 tonnes of sugar. Sugar sells at Rs 100 a kilo at 38 subsidised outlets across the country, and at about Rs 110 a kilo in the market. Gas for cooking, though, is still in short supply in some areas.
