The dealers appeared unprepared for the huge crowds as scuffles, disorder and irregularities marred the sale at different points. bdnews24.com visited Kachukhet, Mirpur-10 and Khamarbari intersection of Farmgate where people scrambled for onion when the TCB dealers arrived with loaded trucks. “We are trying our best, but the people themselves are creating trouble,” one of the men selling TCB onion at Kachukhet said. Customers at Mirpur-10 started an altercation with the sellers when a traffic policeman collected 5 kg onion by skipping the queues. “Dhaka Metropolitan Police were given a list of the 35 points of TCB onion sale and asked to take measures as we don’t have enough manpower to keep order,” he said.
