GUWAHATI: The price of meat will go up by Rs 50-100 for the occasion of Magh Bihu in the city.
President of Greater Guwahati Qureshi Meat Association, Muslim Ali, told G Plus that they have fixed the price of mutton for Magh Bihu at Rs 650 per kilogram.
“We have allowed the price of mutton to be fixed at Rs 650 per kilogram for the occasion of Magh Bihu. But this will only be followed for a single day on January 14,” said Ali.
However, various unlicensed meat sellers in the city have increased the price by as much as Rs 100 per kilogram during the festival period.
“Charging exorbitant price during this period is unfair for the customers and we have thus fixed the price at Rs 650 and we are also asking the other sellers to adhere to it,” added Ali.
Apart from this, the prices of fish and chicken are also likely to rise for Magh Bihu.
