Arrival of vegetables in agricultural markets is low
The situation is that due to rain, the arrival of vegetables in agricultural markets has reduced.

Even the free coriander has become expensive
Ram Hari, a vegetable seller in Muhana Mandi, said that due to the continuous heavy rains in the state, the local vegetables of our area have been completely destroyed. Due to this, the prices of vegetables have increased. Now vegetables are coming to us from Uttar Pradesh. Due to this, the prices of many vegetables are skyrocketing. Among these, coriander is being sold to customers at the rate of Rs 300 per kg, garlic at Rs 400 per kg, lemon at Rs 120 per kg, onion at Rs 70 per kg, ginger at Rs 100 per kg and potato at Rs 40 per kg. Coriander, which we always used to give for free to customers buying vegetables, is nowhere to be seen in the shops today.
