With tomato prices climbing up once again, the Agriculture department has rolled out a ‘Thakkali Vandi’ in a bid to keep the prices down. The mobile outlets, which will also have other vegetables and fruits, will sell tomato at ₹50 a kg, Agriculture Minister P. Prasad has said.
In all, 28 mobile outlets will be introduced, two in a district, operating from 7.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. The Agriculture Minister flagged off the first two mobile outlets in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday evening.
