Forum Protests Sudden Rise in Urban Vegetable Prices
Imagine you go to buy veggies, and they cost way more than before!
That's what's happening in some city markets.
A group called the All Bengal Citizens Forum is upset about this.
They say prices for things like eggplants and tomatoes have gone up a lot.
The people selling the veggies say there aren't enough, but the farmers say they're sending the usual amount.
The group thinks some sellers are making the prices go up on purpose to make more money.
They want the government to check what's going on and stop the price increases.
Vegetable prices in urban markets have suddenly increased.
The All Bengal Citizens Forum is protesting the price hike.
Vegetable prices increased for various items including brinjals, bitter gourd, tomatoes, and chillies.
Green grocers cite a shortage of supply, but farmers deny this claim.
The forum urges the administration to intervene and punish those responsible.
