Amid soaring tomato prices in India due to shortages, several off-beat incidents have grabbed people's attention, from farmers employing guards to safeguard their crops to individuals giving tomatoes as birthday presents.
An
auto-rickshaw driver in Punjab's
Chandigarh city has been hogging the limelight for his unique approach to
attract passengers to take multiple rides by offering a free kilo of
tomatoes.
The auto driver, identified as Anil Kumar, told Indian media that he is happy to provide such services through driving his auto which is his only source of income.
This is not the first time he has come up with an unusual offer.
Kumar has also been providing free rides to Indian Army soldiers as well as pregnant women to the hospitals for the past 12 years.
In addition, he has plans to offer free rickshaw rides to people for five days in Chandigarh, provided India emerges victorious in the upcoming cricket match against Pakistan, scheduled to take place in Gujarat in October.
According to the media reports,
tomato prices are fluctuating between INR 150 ($1.83) - INR 200 ($2.44) per kg in many cities across India following rains-induced shortages.
