KATHMANDU – Chyangra, the Himalayan goats, will be brought in around 500 numbers to Kathmandu from Darchula district in view of upcoming Dashain festival. It is the first time the Himalayan goats are being brought here from Darchula.
Food Management and Trading Company is bringing in the Chyangra from Darchula reasoning the excessive cost of transportation from Mustang district. Company’s Executive Director Mohan Prakash Chand shared that it was for the first time Chyangra meat will be in Dashain cuisine- Chyangra from Darchula, the western-most district of the country.
The Company is purchasing Chyangra alive at Rs 1,150 per kg. This effort will help in stabilizing price of Chyangra in the market. Meanwhile, the Company is sending around 400 quintals of rice to Byas Rural Municipality’s Chhangru and Tinkar in Darchula district at the call of people’s representatives at local level there.
