Speaking at the event which was held at the main conference hall of the Meghalaya Secretariat on Wednesday, Food & Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Comingone Ymbon Ymbon highlighted the importance of stabilizing prices and informed that a meeting was held to discuss the role of various department in regulating the market.
