Chicken price in Pakistan: With the start of holy month of Ramzan, the price of food items in Pakistan is witnessing an uncontrolled rise. As per the recent update, the price of broiler chicken in Karachi has increased by 120 to 150 rupees per kg, currently priced between 720 to 800 Pakistani rupees per kg. Moreover, as a result of the start of the holy month, the prices of chicken have even reached around 900 Pakistani rupees in some parts of Pakistan. Here are all the details you need to know regarding the Chicken price in Pakistan and how the government of Pakistan is failing to control it.
Due to the rising chicken prices in Pakistan, the Karachi administration tried to fix the official price of chicken at 650 Pakistani rupees per kg. However, local shopkeepers, unbothered by the government regulation, are selling chicken at a much-higher price than the regulated one. Notably, the price of Chicken in Pakistan has increased by up to 50 percent in many places, leading to many people not able to buy it during the holy month.
A report by the Navbharat Times has quoted Faisal Abbasi, Vice President of Retail Chicken Sellers Union, as saying that the demand for chicken has increased by 40 percent with the Ramadan, leading to the price rise.
In Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project, once touted as a monumental step toward energy self-sufficiency, has turned into a costly failure.
Despite billions of dollars in investment from the national treasury, the project has failed to meet its expected energy output, leaving local communities without the promised benefits.
The Neelum-Jhelum project, initiated with hopes of alleviating the energy crisis, has instead raised questions regarding its design and implementation. Experts argue that the project’s scale and execution were poorly planned, leaving it incapable of generating the expected 1,000 MW of electricity.
