Overview
- The Department of Forests and Wildlife has invited short-term quotations to supply boneless chicken for pre–Republic Day bird management.
- For the first time, the operation will use chicken instead of buffalo meat, according to a senior Delhi Forest Department official.
- Feeding runs are scheduled January 15–26 across 20 locations, using about 20 kg per site per day to total roughly 400 kg daily.
- The tender specifies 20–30 gram pieces packed in five‑kg packets, with deliveries to the Wildlife Rescue Centre in Wazirabad on set dates including larger consignments on January 22.
- Costs are not listed in the tender, though a Ghazipur market seller estimated the outlay at about Rs 4.46 lakh at Rs 350 per kg.
