In a big relief to citizens, onion prices came down to Rs 90 from Rs 200 per kg at the wholesale markets here on Tuesday.
Rajendran, president of onion market Association, told ANI: "The onion prices were skyrocketing across the country for the past few days. However, the price of first quality onions came down to Rs 90 from Rs 200 and the second quality onions are being sold for Rs 50 at the wholesale markets today."
