Siddipet: One kilo mutton sold for Rs 400, meat lovers rush to Akbarpet
Siddipet, September 26: People on Sunday rushed to Akbarpet village in Mirdoddi mandal of Siddipet district on knowing that a kilo mutton is being sold for Rs 400, half price of existing rate. As the news spread like a wildfire, people not only from Mirdoddi mandal but from Domakonda, Chegunta, Ramayampet, Gajwel, Bibipet, and Daulatabad mandals also visited Akbarpet and purchased mutton.
Traffic jam caused with vehicles parked haphazardly on either side of Medak-Siddipet highway road. Local police cleared the traffic and regulated people at mutton shops. Reason for slashing price was intense competition between the local traders. Even though, mutton is being sold at half price for the last two months, but news came to light on Sunday.
A customer, who purchased mutton, said that he came to Akbarpet at 6 am. “Quality of mutton is good,” he mentioned. People stood in queues for three hours to get hold of mutton.
