Lahore – Chicken, Mutton, and Beef meats remain widely consumed during Ramadan mainly due to their nutritional value, as people prepare special dishes that keep them full during fasting.
With wide consumption, the demand for Chicken and Beef also increased for Iftar and Sehri. To ensure transparency, the Lahore district administration set prices for all items to regulate the market during the month, but people lament significant discrepancies between these rates and actual selling prices.
