Karachi: As the cold winds blow, the price of chicken meat and eggs increased further.
According to the details, in Karachi, eggs started selling at 400 rupees per dozen, the price of chicken also increased, chicken meat started selling at 620 rupees per kg, while consumers say that eggs and chicken are being sold at an arbitrary price. Fails miserably to apply.
According to consumers, no official price list is displayed at any chicken shop in the city, nor are eggs being sold at the official price. The city administration has given an open holiday to wholesalers and stopped issuing official price list of chicken to give legal protection to arbitrary prices.
Commissioner Karachi had fixed the retail price of eggs per dozen in the city at Rs 290, but this price could never be implemented. Even now, chicken eggs are being sold at a price of Rs 110 per dozen more than the official price.
Shopkeepers say that the price of chicken and eggs is increasing at the wholesale level, which is the result of the imbalance between supply and demand.
