As onion touches ₹62 per kg, government blames middlemen for price rise
Onion prices reached ₹62 per kilogram, prompting the Indian government to attribute the rise to middlemen's actions. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan noted that farmers were receiving as little as ₹1 per kg and confirmed government purchases from Maharashtra to stabilize the market. The situation raises concerns about food security and farmer welfare in the coming weeks.
