Incessant rains shoots up onion rates in parts of India

Onion prices continue to rise in Hyderabad after crops were damaged due to rainfall in various parts of the country. “Onion prices are really high right now. Government should try to control prices as we can't afford to buy. We're helpless right now,” said Ali, a customer. On the other side, in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi, onion price rose to 70 rupees per kilogram.
