Hyderabad: The onset of summer has resulted in prices of retail chicken shooting up over the past few week. The last few days particularly have seen a sharp spike in numbers, with a kilogram of poultry meat now costing anything between Rs 140 to Rs 160, with rates more than doubling. However, not just the heat, but that combined with rumours of a lockdown and various other reasons have led to the situation in Hyderabad.
