With Eid-ul-Azha just over a week away, online sales of sacrificial animals are rapidly snowballing as government agencies and e-commerce platforms have partnered up to lure customers into digital cattle markets amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
These platforms provide the full qurbani service , which involves selling, slaughtering and delivering the cattle selected.
