Traders are exploiting the situation by raising prices. While some are selling eggs for Rs 6.16 to Rs 7 each, others are charging up to Rs 8 per egg. Despite traders setting their own prices, no government department is intervening. Normally, eggs are priced between Rs 5.30 and Rs 6, with slight increases occurring only in exceptional cases, such as large-scale deaths of layer birds due to disease or extreme weather conditions in summer.
