HAFIZABAD: Artificial increase in broiler chicken meat prices and other edible items in Hafizabad are cause of concern for the citizens.

The meat of broiler chicken, which was being sold for Rs 500 per kg a few weeks ago, has now exceeded Rs 700 per kg. The prices of eggs, mutton and beef are also increasing due to local administration’s apathy.

Instead of visiting markets, the price control magistrates send clerical staff to impose fines, which makes inflation uncontrollable. The mafia is robbing the citizens by extracting the rates of their own choice.
