With inflation declining to below 6 per cent in March after over three years, Planning Commission today exuded confidence that the price situation would improve further in the coming months. "The fact that this is the first time (in over 3 years) it is below 6 per cent, is very important and I hope that we will continue to see that often", Commission's Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia told reporters here. Declining price of vegetables pulled down inflation to 5.96 per cent in March.
