Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on May 5 said the government had taken several steps to tame inflation but it would take some time before they bore fruit. He was talking to media persons after the civil investiture ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

He pointed to the agriculture situation being "excellent" with a record food production of 227 million tonnes. He wished the new coalition government in Pakistan well and observed that it has begun very well.However, he had no plans to visit that country in the near future. The Prime Minister has been invited to Pakistan by President Pervez Musharraf. Though he had accepted the invitation, no decision had been taken on the visit.
