Vegetables prices singe Mumbaikars' budgets

Buyers in upscale Pali Market, Bandra, find ordinary lemons selling for Rs 20 apiece. "Chillies are at Rs 160-200 a kilo up from Rs 80-100 while unseasonal green peas is available for Rs 200," said local vendor Jeetu Jaiswal of Jeetu Vegetables. "This price rise is the combined effect of summer scarcity, spoilage and high cost of transport."
