Govt flags off NCCF, NAFED vans to sell onions at Rs 35 per kg

The Indian government has launched vans from the National Cooperative Consumer Federation (NCCF) and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NAFED) to sell onions at a controlled price of Rs 35 per kilogram. This move aims to stabilize the onion market and provide relief to consumers who have been facing high prices due to a shortage. The government's efforts to move onions from producing regions to major consumption centres through rail and road networks are also part of this initiative. This should help to reduce the burden on consumers and bring some stability to the market.
