MIRPURKHAS: Resentment and unrest have spread among the citizens after sale of unhygienic chicken meat in different areas of Mirpurkhas since last two weeks. Members of non-governmental organisations, civil society and commercial consumers have complained of selling unhealthy chicken meat openly in the city without officially checking, resulting in the surge of stomach diseases and allergy. A recently conducted survey has revealed that hundreds of existing poultry farms, in the suburbs of Mirpurkhas, have scores of reportedly ill chickens due to continued persisting heat, which was being supplied to sellers at comparatively less price amount, resultantly they were selling the unhealthy chicken meat on cheap rates at Rs 180 to 200 per kg. However, those selling healthy chicken meat is priced around at Rs 300 per kg. The sale of unhygienic chicken meat has caused panic among people, who are suffering from different kinds of stomach diseases and approaching doctors for medical treatment. People lamented that there was no government officer to check the sale of unhygienic chicken meat in the city and sellers were selling openly unhealthy meat on cheap rates without any fear. They demanded Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad, Sindh chief secretary, health secretay and local government secretary to take immediate notice of this matter, order strict checking of unhygienic chicken meat being sold in the city, ensure legal action and punish the responsible.
