Most parts of the city reported the same prices in the retail markets that have prevailed over the week. Though prices varied among different suburbs, there has not been any significant change in the price list.

Meanwhile, complaints regarding the irregular supply of the vegetables are on the rise. Though in some cases, the complaints refer to supplying vegetables which have not been ordered, in other cases, the supply vans have not reached their destinations.

``We ordered for 10 kg of tomato and got extra cabbage instead,'' said Chandrakant, an attendant at a Mafco counter at Cuffe Parade. He claims that other fast moving commodities like beans, lady's finger and carrot are yet to reach the counter. Meanwhile, another counter at Nariman Point has not received supplies for the last fourdays.

The Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) however blames non-seasonal rains in some parts of South India for the problem. ``Items like tomato, which are usually brought from Karnataka, were ruined due tothe rains. But we have managed to arrange supplies from Sangli,'' said V T Badhan, general secretary of APMC. With the season moving in the supply would become regular, he added.

Nearly 25 tonnes of vegetables are sold in the city everday through the scheme, though this constitutes less than five per cent of the total demand.
