Manama: Butchers boycotting red meat over subsidy cuts stormed a Muharraq Municipal Council meeting yesterday, demanding government action.
Meat traders in the Muharraq Central Market have refused to do business since the subsidy cut came into effect at the start of the month and were joined by the majority of Manama’s 120-stall market as the retail price of once-subsidised meat jumped from BD1 per kilo to BD3 .
