In many states of the country, the prices of mangoes and special vegetables have become very expensive and the general public is not able to understand how to bear the brunt of this inflation. In many states, everyday vegetables are also available at such high prices that it has become a problem for the people as to which vegetable to make – so that the budget does not get spoiled.
Vegetable prices are skyrocketing in Patna
