Churachandpur, May 9 : The crave for meat in this township does not reduce much despite the ever soaring temperature as Churachandpur residents churn off a hefty two lakhs plus every day to satiate their appetite for raw meat.
A study conducted in this regard revealed that at least 12 cows and 11 pigs were butchered for consumption across nine meat lanes within the township.
Taking into consideration these figures, collected in this time of the year when the demand was minimal speaks volume on the taste of Lamkans.
With a population of less than a lakh, this second biggest township encompass a revealing 30 plus butchers’ table, where in either a pig, a cow or a buffalo was put up for sale.
Of the 14 tables at New Bazar’s meat lane, 12 have never ceased doing business, even in this time of year.
The second biggest meat lane at Damkam Bazar witness similar business in four of its five tables.
The lanes located at Zenhang Lamka, Bijang Vengnom, Rengkai, IB Road, Saikot and Khawmawi also witness at least two of their tables occupied every day.
The meat business here witness not less than three reselling points across half a dozen tables.
Besides, twenty plus elderly woman has been doing brisk business in delivering the meats to houses for a profit of Rs.5 per Kg.
Now that pork was sold at Rs 90 per Kg and beef at Rs.70 (bones) and Rs 100 (flesh) per Kg, Lamkans have very well churned off more than Rs 2 lakhs every day in their bid for ‘bon appetite’.
It is also worth noted that at least five Goats and three Dogs were butchers for sale on daily basis at several points.
Taking into account the butchers’ version of witnessing double business in winter, it is starkly clear that half of the population have either beef or pork in at least one of their square meals during the peak season is the winter.
The poultry industry and fish vendors not lagging behind during winter and doing better business in summer when the people opted for their products rather than the favorite beef or pork, it would not be an exaggeration to concludes that Churachandpur butchered animals that is capable of serving meats to half of its population every day, be it in winter or summer.
