Is changing weather impacting prices of onion, other kitchen staples? Here's what government says

The Consumer Affairs Department has reported that the prices of all pulses, except pigeon pea or tur dal (arhar), remain almost stable. The department noted a slight increase in the price of tur dal, while prices of other pulses have not seen any significant changes.

The prices and supply of onions are also stable. Due to seasonal factors, there has been a slight increase in prices, but the department assures that these prices will soon return to the normal range.

This statement from the department has come after Nimuben Jayantibhai Bambhaniya took charge as the Minister of State in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
