Fresh mutton at affordable prices draws crowds to Chengicherla market
Mutton prices in Telangana have skyrocketed due to a decrease in goat farming, leaving middle-class families struggling to afford their traditional Sunday meals. While the fear of bird flu has made chicken off-limits, the high price of mutton is pushing many towards seafood. However, a unique solution has emerged in the form of the Chengicherla market, located on the outskirts of Hyderabad. This market offers mutton at significantly lower prices (Rs. 500-600/kg) compared to city markets (Rs. 800-1000/kg). To address customer concerns about the low prices, sellers slaughter animals in front of buyers, guaranteeing freshness and quality. This market provides a much-needed relief for meat lovers looking for affordable options.11:31 AM Mar 09, 2025 IST
