As efforts continue to curb rising edible oil prices amid the festive season, the Centre on Monday said Uttar Pradesh has notified the stock limits for edible oils and many other states will follow suit soon.
Food Secretary Sudanshu Pandey on Monday reviewed the status of stock limits for edible oils during a virtual meeting with representatives of various states.
"Around 23 states participated in the meeting. UP has already notified the stock limits for different categories like retailers, wholesalers, bulk consumers, and refiners," Pandey told PTI.
The Uttar Pradesh government has imposed stock limits in the range of 1-25 tonnes for different stakeholders and the same was notified on October 12.
Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana are almost in the final stages of notifying the stock limits for edible oils, he said.
According to Pandey, nine other states/UT have confirmed that they initiated the process of fixing stock limits. The states are Maharashtra, Odisha, Kerala, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Chandigarh.
Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede's father on Monday said his name is Dnyandev and not Dawood as claimed by NCP leader and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik.
Speaking to a news channel, he said his son is like Abhimanyu from the epic Mahabharat who is surrounded by enemies, but he will come out of this 'chakravyuh' (a military foundation to surround enemies) like Arjun.
Hitting back at Malik, who has claimed that Sameer Wankhede is a Muslim by birth and his real name is 'Sameer Dawood Wankhede', the Wankhede senior said the NCP leader was playing very low-level politics.
Malik has released what he claimed the birth certificate of Sameer Wankhede and alleged that the latter had forged documents.
Speaking to a regional news channel, the Wankhede senior said, It is an absolute lie that my name is Dawood Wankhede. I think there is some malafide intention of Malik behind releasing that birth certificate of Sameer Wankhede and defaming us. My name is Dnyandev Wankhede since my birth and it is still the same .
I completed my graduation and post-graduation and even served in a state government department. How is it possible that none of them knew my name was not Dnyandev and it was Dawood? How come Malik alone gets the suspicious document?" he questioned.

Background
Breaking News LIVE, October 26, 2021: Hello and Welcome to ABP News LIVE Blog! The Supreme Court will continue hearing the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case on Tuesday, a week after it rapped the Uttar Pradesh police for “dragging its feet” in the investigation.
Noting that the special investigation team (SIT) probing the violence needed to get more witnesses to record their statements, the top court adjourned the proceedings last week to October 26. The bench asserted that the SIT must identify the vulnerable witnesses, provide them protection and record their statements under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), as it will have more evidentiary value.
The Delhi High Court has said that prima facie, a suit filed by several doctors' associations against Yoga guru Ramdev for allegedly spreading misinformation against allopathy amid the COVID-19 pandemic deserves consideration and cannot be "thrown out" at the first stage.
Justice C Hari Shankar said at the present stage, it only needs "to see if allegations in the plaint make out a case to be entertained".
"The allegations may be right or maybe wrong. He may say he did not say any such thing... It needs to be looked into," said the judge.
"Prime facie, it appears that the present suit can't be thrown out at the threshold without granting leave to institute the suit," said the court which had earlier sought Ramdev's stand on the institution of the proceeding.
