While the wholesale food prices index inched up marginally from 8.47% in February to 8.71% in March, manufactured products inflation moved up from 9.84% to 10.71%. However, the month-on-month change in the index for manufactured goods was sharper at 2.31%.

Wholesale price inflation was at 7.89% in March 2021.

Just in | Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (#MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday said that the MNS does not want riots in Maharashtra or elsewhere in the country. "We have no wish to disrupt the peace in Maharashtra or anywhere else", Mr. Thackeray said, reports @ShoumojitB
"But the Muslim community need to think of playing the #Azaan over loudspeakers keeping humanitarian considerations in mind. If they insist on playing it over loudspeakers, then they will have to listen to 'aaratis' being similarly played five times a day", Mr. Thackeray said
"The issue of loudspeakers is not a religious one, but a social problem. The matter of the Azaan being played over loudspeakers is troubling not just to Hindus, but also to many Muslims and other people," Mr. Thackeray said in Pune.
