New Delhi, July 27 The Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, said on Friday that the Government was watching inflation situation carefully and promised that all necessary steps would be taken to control it.

“There is nothing to worry… Whatever steps are needed will be taken to control prices. We are watching the situation carefully. Let me say the rise is mainly due to pressure on primary articles and seasonal factors,” Mr Chidambaram told reporters here. The Wholesale Price Index based inflation accelerated to a six-week high in the week ended July 14 to 4.41 per cent, higher than the annual rise of 4.27 per cent in the previous week.
