Onion traders in Maharashtra`s Nashik district on Wednesday said that they suspended auctions in all agriculture produce market committees in Nashik and the protest will continue indefinitely, a development raising the fear of shortage of the kitchen staple in retail markets and hike in prices, reported the PTI.
According to the news agency, an office-bearer of the Nashik District Onion Traders Association (NDOTA) said they are protesting against the Union government`s recent move to increase export duty on onions up to 40 per cent, which will remain in force till December 31.
