The Poultry Association has rejected the official list of price hikes for chicken meat and egg prices, and is selling these items at their own higher rates. In Lahore, chicken meat is being sold at Rs 602 per kilogram and egg prices are Rs 384 per dozen. The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has directed the National Price Monitoring Committee (NPMC) to coordinate with provincial governments to ensure price stability and combat hoarding and profiteering. The cabinet committee, presided over by the Caretaker Federal Minister for Finance, Revenue, and Economic Affairs, also approved the budget for the Employee Old Age Institution (EOBI).
