The Food and Civil Supplies minister of Delhi, Imran Hussain, raised the demand on Thursday in his letter to Union Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. The Delhi government is selling onions through around 250 mobile vans cross thecity, at a subsidised rate of Rs 23.90 per kg. Hussain requested Paswan to direct NAFED to supply 10 trucks of onions everyday for Delhi for the next 10 days. "The Delhi government has put in place adequate infrastructure for sale of onions at Rs 23.90 per kg.
