Prices of vegetables increased with the starting of monsoon: Tomatoes making buyers red

 With the arrival of monsoon in Jammu and Kashmir, the prices of vegetables are also increasing.  This year, people got the pleasure of cold and rain in the month of May, but its effect is now visible on the production of vegetables.  These days the prices of vegetables have started touching the sky.  Due to this, the taste of common people’s kitchen has started deteriorating.

 The faces of the buyers have started turning red after hearing the prices of tomato, lemon and other vegetables.  Due to increase in the price of chilli, ginger, tomato, bitter gourd, garlic, the budget has started deteriorating.  Here earlier people were buying one kilo of tomatoes, whereas now they are working with half or a loaf. Sellers say that due to the rotting of vegetables due to water in the fields due to rain, they have to be imported from nearby districts.  Due to this, vegetables have become expensive in the market.  Vegetable seller Mohan Raj told that every year vegetables become expensive due to rain.  Because the crop gets spoiled due to water.
