Lockdown Effect: People Rush To Buy Salt
X
Following a false rumor about the scarcity of salt has resulted in public rushing to the Kirana stores as the news has spread to all the districts which created a new problem to the authorities.

Going into details, this rumor was spread in Chhatisgahdh that salt will be scarce in the coming months and people should stock up the salt so that they won't face any problem.

People rushed to the shops to buy salt for higher prices as in many places shop keepers sold salt for higher prices. This news reached Raipur collector Dr. S. Bharatidasan and he directed the concerned officers to look into the issue.

As a result, some shops were closed for selling the goods at a higher price. The authorities said that people should not get panic by believing such fake news and said that all the required groceries were stocked up at the ration shops.
