“The poultry association is collaborating with the government to supply chicken products in Ramazan Bazaars at rates which are less than the market price,” the LCCI office bearer said.

“If all the birds die because of load shedding, how will the general public get any benefit? People attached to this industry have been bearing huge losses,” he maintained.
