Pune: Onion traders of Nashik on Monday began a strike in protest against the cap set by the government on the buying price of onions, but decided to call it off from Tuesday, with the Maharashtra government agreeing to revoke its decision. In a bid to stabilise prices, the government had issued a directive to the traders, stating that onions should not be sold above Rs.40 a kg. The traders in Nashik, one of the largest onion producing regions in the State, protested against this limit and went on a strike.
After a meeting, the traders decided to open the markets on Tuesday and carry on trading based on market prices.
