Noting that the government was concerned about inflation, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said more steps could be taken to contain it and a moderation could be expected in a couple of weeks.

Attributing the inflation to rise in prices of certain commodities internationally, Singh said the government has already taken steps to check the upward trend of prices.
"We are all concerned. The Cabinet Committee on Prices met and took certain decisions. Whatever more can be done, will be done," he told reporters at the Rashtrapati Bhawan after the swearing-in of new ministers.
