Hasina said, “For us, there was a problem with onions. I do not know why you stopped sending onions. If you had given a little notice, we could have brought it from another place. I told the cook to stop adding onions from now on. If you have to do something like this in any way from the future, let us know a little earlier.” The people present there were surprised to hear this in Hindi from Sheikh Hasina.

The central government issued instructions to the state government
In fact, on September 29, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry banned the export of all types of onions. After this, in view of the rising prices of onions, the government issued strict instructions to the state government regarding the storage of onions. The government said that under this, the limit of 100 quintals for onion stocking for retail traders and 500 quintals for onion stocking for wholesalers should be increased.
