Strict Action Against Hoarding Onions: DB Chief

Strict action will be taken against traders hoarding onions or selling them at higher prices, Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Harun-Or-Rashid said on Sunday (December 10).

"Some traders are stockpiling onions and trying to sell them at higher prices. They should be brought under law," Harun said while talking to reporters at his office.

However, the DB police are working at Chawkbazar and Shyambazar areas to control onion price, he said.

The price of onion jumped over Tk200 per kg in Dhaka and other parts of the country on Saturday, after Indian authorities announced export ban on the essential kitchen item till March 2024.
