The foreign minister said, "Unscrupulous Lovatoor Syndicate in the market increases the prices of various products on various pretexts. We have seen that one and a half lakh eggs were recovered from a cold storage. In the past, onion crisis was created.

Our government will take all measures against such syndicates."
