Mumbaikars are weeping and it’s all thanks to the skyrocketing prices of onions.
The prices of onions at Lasangaon, Asia’s largest onion market, witnessed a record price of Rs 55 -- the highest in five years. As a result, retailers have started jacking up their rates to Rs 70-80 per kg.
At such a time, surprising as it may be, the price of chicken is cheaper than that of onions -- Rs 65/kg. The prices of chicken have fallen owing to the holy month of Shravan, during which many Hindus refrain from eating non-vegetarian.
So, we suggest ditch the onions and feast on chicken till the prices come down.
Sorry vegetarians our hearts and stomachs go out to you. :-)
