According to Information Officer at FMTCL Sharmila Neupane, customers will get a Rs 10 discount per kilogram in their purchase. The FMTCL will start selling the goats at Rs 550 from 8 am Monday from the premises of its office in Thapathali.
Three trading companies run under the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supply have run fair price shops and given discounts in various goods to consumers in view of the Dashain festival, which is one of the greatest festivals of Hindu people. The FMTCL said the Rs 10 per kg discount was given to consumers as per the government's policy to provide goods and services at fairer prices in view of the Dashain festival.
The company, however, shelved its plan this year to bring sheep to Kathmandu from Mustang as local farmers demanded exorbitantly higher prices of sheep as compared to the previous year.
