Onion crisis to be resolved soon, says PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said there is nothing to be worried over onion crisis. It will be resolved soon.

She said, “The crisis is temporary. It won’t last for long. 55,000 tonnes of onions has already arrived in the country. The overheated onion market will cool down within the next couple of days.”

The Premier said this while addressing a press conference at her official residence Ganobhaban on her Azerbaijan tour for attending the 18th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) on Tuesday afternoon.

She also made fun saying foods can be cooked without onion.  Many items are cooked without onion at her residence, too.
