It has been months when Chicken prices started to increase in Karachi and still today the prices are high while city government has failed to do anything to reduce the prices of chicken.
In February chicken meat was being sold at Rs. 183 and live chicken was available for Rs. 118/kg, today the prices of chicken meat is more than 292/kg while live chicken is being sold at Rs. 188/kg. The price of Eggs is also varying with each passing week.
Similarly the prices of Milk and Yogurt have also increased with the increase in temperature. From last few days Karachi has become hot with temperature reaching to 40 Celsius. Now Milk is being sold at Rs. 85/liter while the prices of yogurt has also reached to 130/kg.
Citizens are worried about the increased prices because the holy month of Ramadan is also starting soon while the poultry farm owners are not willing to let the prices down. It is also being said that the prices may increase with the start of ramazan and may cross Rs. 400/KG like the month of March.
