With Onion prices rising uncontrollably, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in order to consol the irked citizens of the capital over rising price on Tuesday assured onion prices would stabilise in the coming 10 days and added that her government is continuously engaged to intervene to the matter time to time.
"With expected arrival from Rajasthan, the prices are bound to stablise after a week. Moreover, with an additional arrival consequent upon the fresh harvest, the situation would become normal after 10 days or so," she said here at a press conference.
Dikshit also blamed "unprecedented rains" for the skyrocketing prices of onion. "Unprecedented rains led to disruption in supply from other states. Prices are fluctuating because the product is not reaching Delhi," she added.
With Diwali coming nearer, the rising onion price has created a worry among the people in the national capital. However, dealers on Monday said the rising trend in onion prices will continue.
