Issuing a statement, the CAA said despite this fact incorrect information has circulated among the public through various media claiming that the price of wheat flour has been increased by Rs 2 with effect from January 05, 2016.
“If the price of wheat flour has been increased without prior approval of the Consumer Affairs Authority, legal action would be instigated against respective companies following a special inspection while legal action will also be taken against traders who sell wheat flour above the existing control price,” CAA Chairman Hasitha Tillekeratne said.
