Controversy over chicken rates

The Poultry Retailers Association has announced a shutter down strike tomorrow on Tuesday across Punjab, including Rawalpindi.

The President of the Poultry Retailers Association Rawalpindi Zaheer Abbasi has said that they can’t sell chicken at government-fixed rates.
