In brief
Public associations in Kakinada are urging the government to make 10 kg rice bags available at Rythu Bazaars, as smaller families struggle to afford standard 26 kg bags amid rising market prices.
The government has capped prices for private traders and launched a Market Intervention Programme, though 10 kg packs are not yet available at the bazaars.
