On behalf of the Central government the National Cooperative Consumers' Federation (NCCF) on Tuesday started selling onions at Rs 22 per kilogram. "We are from the NCCF, on behalf of the Central government under Minister Ram Vilas Paswanji and we have come with almost 2,000 ton of onions today and are selling it at Rs 22 per kg, we have five other stalls set up in other areas too," said one of the stall operators outside the Krishi Bhawan in the Central Secretariat area.The people standing in the queues while appreciating the move also slammed the center saying it should have been proactive and addressed the unchecked increase in onion prices in the market."I am standing in the queue to get the onions as they're sold here at just Rs 22 per kilogram while they're sold at Rs 80 per kilogram in the markets," said a buyer in the queue.Another senior citizen standing in line blamed the Centre for the rising onion prices across the country and questioned why more such stalls were not present in wards and markets across Delhi and other states."The Centre is to blame for the rising prices, why are they not ensuring that prices in the market do not reach Rs 80 for just a kilogram of onions which is used daily in cooking," the elderly gentleman said.( With inputs from ANI )
