Prices of tur fell in the benchmark market of Akola, Maharashtra, due to subdued demand at higher rates. Prices of the commodity had increased due to improved sentiment, following the government decision to cap imports of urad, moong and tur. Arrivals were steady at 600-700 bags (1 bag = 100 kg). Kalaburagi, a key market for tur, was closed due to strike by traders protesting the mandatory e-payment system launched by the Karnataka government Rashtriya e-Markets Services.
