Thursday, April 10, 2014.
Aggrieved by
frequent variations in chicken and mutton prices, Abdul Rehman Sodagar, a
poultry farmer, has filed an application under RTI Act in CAPD asking the
department to reveal its method of fixing the rates.
Earlier,
Director, Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution Department (CAPD), Bashir
Ahmad had told Greater Kashmir that the production of broilers in Kashmir had
increased manifold which had resulted in reduction of chicken prices. The
department had fixed the rate of chicken per kg at Rs 80.
However,
poultry farmers and dealers seem to be aggrieved by the sudden and fast changes
in prices. The applicant has also sought information regarding the method the
department uses to fix the mutton rates.
The applicant
has also sought break up of 3.50 crore broilers, which the demand had claimed
to have been produced in Kashmir this season.
