Officials at the Market Yards predict that this situation will persist for another month. Green chillies are priced between Rs 100 to Rs 120 per kg, and other vegetables are also expensive, with most costing more than Rs 50 per kg.
For instance, ladies’ fingers and ridge gourds are priced at Rs 40 per kg. The prices of all vegetables, including onions, have risen.
