SINGAPORE, Sept 26 (The Straits Times/ANN): At least one well known Indian eatery may stop selling its popular chapati dish this week, while another is expected to raise prices due to India's ban on wheat exports.

Popular Indian eateries here tell The Straits Times that the ban since May has forced them to turn to wheat flour from other countries which now costs about three times more than that from India before. The prices of flour from India have similarly increased.
