Meat price is rising by Rs107 per kilogram, the price of chicken meat in Sialkot has shot up significantly now at Rs700.
The rising meat costs became more obvious as the holy month of Ramazan neared, adding financial pressure on consumers.
Rising from Rs1,800 per kilogram to an expensive RS2,700 per kilogram, goat prices also rose sharply.
Rising from Rs800 per kilogram to Rs1,200 per kilogram, beef prices also went up markedly.
This added to the cost of consumers.
Residents from Sialkot who were worried about the rising prices criticized the situation on poor regulatory oversight.
Many argued the price control boards had not done their jobs, therefore approving uncontrolled raises.
A resident nearby noted that because these committees had been dormant, meat prices had not been somewhat controlled.
With no help, many were fighting to pay basic foodstuffs, therefore worsening financial difficulties during a tough time.
Just ahead of Ramazan, the high spike in meat prices brought great anxiety in society and demands for recurring government help.
Although people complained several times, officials did not put any specific policies in place to slow down the cost of meat.
Despite repeated pleas, the government had not done much to solve the worsening situation, leaving many citizens feeling deserted.
The unregulated price increase therefore posed major problems for regular folks attempting to get ready for Ramazan.
