Laborers work at an onion wholesale market in Kolkata, India, Sept. 25, 2019. Price of onions have increased to nearly threefold over the past couple of weeks in India, allegedly due to heavy damages rendered to ready-for-harvest crop in south-western state of Maharashtra, and other nearby areas, by incessant rains this year. Sold at a price tag of around 20 Indian Rupees a kilogram in Delhi, and other parts in north India, the commodity is now available at nearly 60 Indian Rupees a kilogram. (Xinhua/Tumpa Mondal)
