New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a plan to offer a 30% discount on meat and produce at city-run grocery stores. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

The plan to open five government-owned stores drew criticism, with some calling it a step toward communist bread lines. However, Mamdani said the stores aim to lower prices.

The stores are expected to be located in each borough of the city.
