imageCARACAS: Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Friday ordered the government takeover of a private supermarket chain, accusing the company of food hoarding amid huge lines and shortages in the crisis-hit country.

Maduro said the government's PDVAL food distribution agency would take over "all service of this (Dia a Dia) chain that was waging war against the population."
