Veggie prices shoot up 100% in three months
The Hindu
Crop damage due to flood cited as a reason
It’s not just tomato but the prices of almost all vegetables have soared, making it difficult for the common man to make ends meet.
Currently, tomatoes are sold at ₹70 a kg while most other vegetables cost not less than ₹40.
The government, however, blames it on heavy rains that lashed the State. The steep price rise is mainly attributed to crop damage due to rain/flood in several areas.
