Worried Sheila Diskhit seeks Centre's help on curbing onion price rise

Firstpost  

“The situation is very serious. New Delhi: Mindful of possible impact of rocketing onion prices on assembly polls which are just six weeks away, a worried Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today asked the Centre to take immediate measure to rein in the rates and sought Election Commission’s permission for sale of the bulb at a reasonable price. The Chief Minister specifically requested Pawar to direct National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India to make available adequate quantity of onions for Delhi on no-profit no-loss basis so that its price, which is hovering around Rs 100 a kg in retail market, comes down. “We are also exploring the possibility of procuring onions at wholesale rate from major onion producing states preferably from the cities of Nasik and Pune to improve supply,” the Chief Minister said. That is why we have requested the Election Commission to allow us to sell onion at reasonable prices so that people can be insulated,” she said, adding 8,000 quintals of onions have arrived in the city which could help ease prices.
