Delhi/Hyderabad, July 16 (Maxim News): Tomatoes are very important in food. In the recent past, the price of these has also increased so much that the common man is struggling. With this, the Central government took a step forward and took measures to reduce the prices of these.

According to an official of the Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public Distribution on Sunday, the price of tomatoes has come down due to the measures taken by the Central government.
