Mysuru/Mysore: With the demand for chicken falling drastically following Coronavirus and Bird Flu scare, mutton rates in city have witnessed a sharp jump over the past fortnight. The price of mutton which was about Rs.500 a kg a month ago today stood at Rs.600 at most stalls. The price of mutton is likely to go up further in a couple of days due to a sudden surge in demand, even as the District Administration started mass culling of chicken.
Despite the high prices, mutton has been in great demand by people. Many people were seen standing in queues at various stalls in extensions.
