Price hikes of different vegetables across the country are already making headlines. And the latest one to cause a flutter is tomato.

The price rise was caused due to a short supply of the item owing to untimely rain in various parts of the country. Social media is now abuzz with various posts involving the price rise, which include some hilarious memes.
