The government Wednesday said there are enough stocks of onions, potatoes and other food items in the country and people should not panic over the speculative rise in prices.
"I request the people that there is no need to panic. The government is committed to control the price-rise," Telecom and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told media persons after the cabinet meeting here.
Prasad also expressed hope that monsoon would improve in the coming days that would have positive impact on food prices.
"Let's not panic. Rain god will smile on us...Government hopes that the rain will be ok," he said.
