It is reported that traders and consumers are complaining that the problem of eggs that has been bothering the consumers from time to time for several weeks has come back again.
It is reported that there is currently a shortage of eggs in the market after setting a control price for eggs.
According to the report, an official of the Department of Consumer Affairs has said that raids will be conducted to find the traders who are selling eggs at high prices and who are keeping stocks of eggs.
It is reported that steps will be taken to impose fines of 5 lakhs to 50 lakhs on behalf of traders and companies who exceed the maximum retail price set by the government for eggs (44 rupees for white eggs, 46 rupees for red eggs).
The Department of Animal Production and Welfare has stated that egg prices may decrease in the future as egg production costs have decreased.
