Ranchi/Jamshedpur/Bokaro: The demand for poultry chicken in Ranchi started plunging after cases of avian influenza were reported from seven states. Denizens, who usually savour chicken dishes at home, eateries and street food carts, are giving them a miss fearing bird flu.
Last week, chicken was sold in Ranchi at Rs 150 a kilogram but with the number of customers dwindling, many traders have begun slashing prices to exhaust their stock.
Sarwar Qureshi, who runs a shop in Kokar, slashed the price of his poultry chicken to Rs 120 per kilogram. “I had to reduce the price as my customers dwindled. The sale is plummeting despite the low price,” Qureshi said. Most of Ranchi’s poultry chicken stock are shipped from hatcheries in Gumla and Khunti.
