LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday issued notices to the concerned authorities on a petition seeking directives for the government to bring down the price of chicken in the province. After a preliminary hearing, a bench of the high court directed the provincial government and other respondents to submit their comments on the writ petition at the next hearing. The petitioner stated before the court that the government has failed to control the rising prices of chicken. Meanwhile, the Sindh government on Wednesday showed serious concern over a “deliberate” and “abrupt” increase in prices of chicken meat in Karachi. The letter demanded the deputy commissioners, assistant commissioners and mukhtiarkars to curb the abrupt and undue hike in the prices of chicken.
