The government had taken a pre-emptive measure on September 14 by announcing a ban on onion export to ensure availability to domestic consumers at reasonable rates during the lean season before the Kharif onion arrival. This resulted in the rocket high prices of onions. The sharp hike left the citizens worried as in a few cities, the price even reached to Rs 120 per Kg.
