Egg prices rise to Rs 9 in Odisha
The price of eggs in Odisha has gone up from Rs 7 to Rs 9 per egg.
This is because more eggs are being sold to other countries, and there are fewer eggs being produced due to hot weather.
The government is helping egg producers by giving them money to make more eggs.
But people in Odisha are finding it harder to buy eggs because of the higher prices.
Egg prices in Odisha have increased from Rs 7 to Rs 9 per egg.
The price rise is due to increased international demand and lower production.
Odisha relies on other states to meet its egg demand.
The government is providing subsidies to egg producers to boost production.
Severe heatwave conditions have affected egg production.
