Government sources said that the city is facing no shortage and the hike could be a result of some people trying to take advantage of the sudden rise in prices in some parts of the country. "Strict action will be taken against these people," said a source.
Pre-empting such a move, lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung had on Wednesday directed officials to act against those found hoarding essential goods. A drive was carried out by the department of food and civil supplies on Thursday to check hoarding of essential commodities, especially onions and potatoes. More are being organized in the coming week.
SS Yadav, commissioner, department of food and civil supplies, said supply was much more than current requirement. "We have been checking prices from 329 retail outlets. On Friday, Safal outlets were selling good quality onion for Rs 21 per kg while the slightly inferior quality was being sold at Rs 19 per kg," he said.
Against this, retail outlets in IP Extension, Gautam Nagar, South Extention and Janakpuri checked by TOI found that both onion and potatoes were being sold for Rs 30 per kg, up from Rs 25 per kg the previous day.
On Friday, NAFED started procurement of onions on behalf of Delhi government from Nashik. The first consignment is expected to reach the city by Monday.
"From Saturday, the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee will also be issuing rate lists for people," said a government source.
