Pic Talk : Buy Sim Card, Get Onions Free

Until now, we have seen businessmen offering their customers attractive gifts against purchasing of several consumer and other goods. However, this image of an agent of a leading mobile network provider offering 1 kg onions free to the customers who buy a sim card explains the situation with the inflating hike in onion rates.

Onion prices have seen astronomical rise over the last couple of weeks, thanks to tight supplies due to unseasonal and scanty rains affecting the crops. Already, the price of onions per kilo has touched Rs 80 in retail markets, and it only looks to further increase by 10% more in the coming few days.
