However, a large section of people have started believing in such rumours and have thus resorted to buying goat meat.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Officials think that some dishonest traders are hiking the price artificially to take advantage of the situation.<\/div>\n<div>Recently, the price of goat meat in several retail markets of the city soared to Rs. 800-900 per kilo on the occasion of Doljatra and Holi. Overall, the official price was hiked to Rs. 700 per kilo across the city, but in reality, the price was said to have been artificially inceased much higher.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" dir=\"auto\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officially, the price per kilo was fixed at Rs 700.<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":8844,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[346,85,108],"adace-sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-8843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-bengal","tag-coronavirus-in-kolkata","tag-price-rise","tag-west-bengal-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
