Some of the buyers said they were standing in the line since early morning to buy onion from the OMS trucks and lamented that most of them could not get onion and had to return empty-handed. Previously a person was allowed to buy two kg onion, but now each person in most areas could manage only one kg, they said. Ayesha Akter, who is a garment worker, came to buy onion at Rampura Bazaar. Shuman Ahmed, who came from Mohakhali to Famgate to buy OMS onion, was disappointed as there was no stock and he had to leave without any onion. We have nothing to do with the high price except selling onion in OMS at lower price,” he said.
