The East Dimapur Town Council (EDTC) has directed all pork butchers and sellers to strictly comply with the official rate, warning that non-compliance would result in penalties as per council regulations.
Noting that misinformation was being circulated regarding the price of pork within its jurisdiction, EDTC clarified that the official rate of pork remained fixed at Rs 350 per kg, as determined by it, adding that any claim or report suggesting a revised rate of Rs 360 per kg were false and misleading. The council said the notice was issued to ensure transparency, price control, and quality maintenance for the welfare of public, calling for contacting 9863640294 in case of any inquiry, or to report any violation.
