Centre Reviews Onion Procurement in Nashik
A team from the government visited Nashik to check how onions are being bought and stored.
They looked at the prices, how many onions are being collected from farmers, and how many are being kept in warehouses.
This visit is important because the government is trying to keep onion prices stable.
Farmers and traders are waiting to see if the government will change its plans for buying onions or make other changes.
