PESHAWAR:

The price of poultry has dropped significantly, falling from Rs460 per kilogram to Rs380 within a week - a decrease of Rs80 per kilogram.

Despite the steep decline in raw chicken prices, the cost of chicken dishes at restaurants and fast-food outlets remains unchanged, drawing criticism from consumers.

As Eid-ul-Azha approaches, the poultry market has witnessed a notable dip in prices.

However, eateries across the city continue to sell chicken dishes at inflated rates, unchanged since prices peaked earlier this year.

Previously, when chicken prices surged to Rs500 per kilogram, restaurant and fast-food operators raised the prices of popular chicken dishes.

Now that chicken rates have dropped significantly, the public is questioning why those increased menu prices haven't been revised.
