Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday expressed confidence that a positive solution on issues faced by onion growers would emerge from a meeting convened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

As reported by PTI, onion cultivators have demanded a Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs 3,000 for the bulb, Rs 1,500 per quintal subsidy for produce that has been sold, rollback of the export ban, and a detailed and impartial inquiry into the corruption in the onion procurement by the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED).
