Delhi, brace yourselves—tomatoes are pulling a major price stunt, skyrocketing to ₹90 per kg! But fear not, the tomato knights are rolling in with a juicy solution! 🚐💨
🦸 Tomato Avengers Assemble: Enter the ₹65 Van!
In a move straight out of a superhero movie, the government is swooping in with subsidized tomatoes, offering them at ₹65 per kg. Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare officially kicked off the Tomato Express (aka mobile vans) to hit 50 locations across the city. 🍅✨
🌧️ Why the Tomato Meltdown?
Mother Nature’s having a mood swing! 🌧️ Heavy rains and sticky humidity have turned our beloved tomatoes into high-maintenance divas. Combine that with greedy middlemen cashing in, and you’ve got a tomato crisis on your hands. 🙃💸
🧅 Onions Stay Cool While Tomatoes Freak Out!
Meanwhile, onions are playing it cool, holding steady at ₹35 per kg, keeping the drama to a minimum. Plus, pulses and chickpeas are flying in from Australia and Myanmar like pantry heroes. 🧅🦸♂️
🍕 The Big Tomato Comeback
The government promises that this tomato tantrum won’t last forever. So, hit up those subsidized vans and load up, because no one should have to live without tomatoes on their tacos or tangy ketchup! 🌮🍟
Stay juicy, Delhi! 🍅
