Govt crackdown on onion hoarders
Soaring onion prices have not just left consumers teary-eyed but the government very worried. In a bid to bring down prices, the Income Tax department raided onion hoarders across the country. Raids were conducted at 17 places across 12 districts in Bihar and Jharkhand. Reports of raids also came in from Kolay Market in Sealdah and from Asansol. The onion traders in Surat too had to face the Income Tax raids.
