As of now, at least two mutton shops, displaying their licences newly obtained from the food inspector's office, are selling goat meat at Mango, Sankosai area, on road 1. But, newly opened Ashok Mutton Shop and Sikandar Mutton Shop are selling mutton at Rs 600 a kilo, up from Rs 450-480 that the shops charged before the ban, justifying this steep hike in view of the increased overhead costs they had to bear to get the coveted licence. As I had to bear extra expenses to run my mutton shop under the government's new directive, I had no option than to increase the price," seller Ashok Kumar said. Illegal mutton traders sell customers goat meat for Rs 500 a kilo at various places including Kokar and Bariatu. Mukesh Will you buy mutton at Rs 600 per kilo?
