tomato

Pattukottai traffic police rewarded two-wheeler riders with 1 kg of tomato for wearing helmets during morning peak hours at the market. The initiative aimed to encourage law-abiding behavior among riders.

Tomato, onion, and potato prices have risen within a week, but farmers in potato-growing states like U.P. and Bihar report receiving as little as ₹2 or ₹3 per kilo for potatoes, despite consumers paying high prices.

Retail inflation reached a 16-month high of 3.9% as prices for tomato and rice increased. Higher fuel prices contributed to rising transport costs, exacerbating the inflationary pressure.
