The people are heaving a sigh of relief as the price of onion has fallen with the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) offering the item at Tk 23 per kg through e-commerce companies.
When the price of any item suddenly shoots up, raids are launched on godowns and even retailers are fined and jailed. But the big bosses are never caught.
