Farmers hold ‘funeral’ for onions as prices crash to ₹1 per kg
Farmers in Madhya Pradesh's Dhamnar village held a symbolic funeral for onions after market prices crashed to ₹1 per kg. They carried a bier adorned with flowers, accompanied by drums, to perform the 'last rites' of onions at the cremation ground. "So many expenses have gone into this crop...Where will we go if we can't recover costs?" a farmer questioned.
