Upa Lokayukta Justice B. Veerappa found some irregularities in the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) during an inspection in Belagavi on October 29.

He saw weighing scales used by vegetable traders at the APMC and observed that there were some fraudulent practices.

He found none of the wholesale vegetable traders were issuing receipts for the produce sold, and middlemen were charging excessive commission. He instructed officials to ensure that such things did not happen.
