Sambalpur: Onion becomes Expensive, Increases to Rs 60 per kg

Sambalpur: A few months ago, tomato prices were deregulated. Its prices started from 20 rupees per kilo and reached up to 260 rupees. The dissatisfaction of the consumer was increasing along with the political debate about it. Now, almost a week ago, the price of onion was Rs. 20, but today, the price of onion in the market in Sambalpur is 60 rupees.

Due to this, there is dissatisfaction among the consumers. There are many questions in the minds of consumers whether the prices of tomatoes will increase or decrease. Onion prices suddenly skyrocketed because no one had any information. If you ask the consumer shop, they say that the above prices have increased. Therefore, there is an accusation of the hands of big traders.

After removing potatoes and onions from the list of essential commodities, now even the supply department cannot control the demand. There is a general complaint that some profit-seeking businessmen are increasing their prices. Onion is expensive in Nashik, Maharashtra and its impact is also being discussed in Odisha. Onion prices increase from August to November every year. In about a week, the prices are reduced. Artificial scarcity is created by corporate houses stocking large quantities of goods when the prices change slightly in the market. In addition to keeping a large amount of things at once, they also have enough money and space. It is said that they are selling it at a high price, but the common people are suffering. So there is a general demand for the government to pay attention.
