Punjab Poultry Traders Association Calls for Strike

The Punjab Poultry Traders Association has announced a complete shutdown strike from 5:00 pm today, citing ongoing supply disputes amidst rising inflation in the country.

With day-to-day goods becoming increasingly scarce due to inflation, the issue of broiler supply remains unresolved. Despite official rate list adjustments, vendors have refrained from accepting supply, citing discrepancies between the fixed rates and the actual supply of live broilers.
