Chicken Prices Soar to Rs950/kg in Rawalpindi Despite Eid Passing

Chicken prices in Rawalpindi have surged significantly, hitting Rs950 per kilogram in the city and Rs1,000 per kilogram in nearby areas, even after Eidul Fitr concluded on April 8, 2025.

Live chickens now cost Rs650/kg in the city and Rs670/kg in the suburbs, fueling widespread resentment among buyers. Despite government promises to curb inflation, these soaring rates—far above the official Rs412/kg show no sign of slowing.

A boycott campaign flopped, unable to dent the prices. The local Poultry Association blames a supply crunch, with demand tripling since Eid eve across hotels, barbecues, and food streets. “Supply hasn’t kept up,” said Vice President Khurshid Abbasi, warning prices won’t drop until it does. He pointed to a 300% rise in feed, medicine, and other costs as a key driver.

Locals like Faisal Ali and Bahzad Ali lament the unchecked prices since Eid eve. Noor Zaman demanded the Price Control Committee Chairman enforce the Rs412/kg rate or resign, slamming government inflation claims of 1.5% as “lies.”

Price control magistrates appear powerless, and vendors face no scrutiny. Meanwhile, the Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner has abandoned setting ghee, sugar, and flour rates due to market-official price gaps.

Watermelon, officially Rs20/kg in cities and Rs5–10/kg rural, spiked to Rs120/kg during Eid. Sugar, set at Rs164/kg, sells for Rs180/kg. With supply strained and costs soaring, Rawalpindi’s markets remain a battleground for frustrated buyers and a silent administration.
