RAWALPINDI: With just a few days left until Eidul Azha, prices of sacrificial animals have increased sharply.
Traders as well as buyers at cattle sale points have expressed concern over high cost of the animal as well as transportation charges. Cattle traders usually come to Rawalpindi from other parts of the district like Fatahjang, Talagang, Attock, Taxila and Gujar Khan.
One of the buyers, a resident of Defence Housing Authority, had gone to buy goats from Bhatta Chowk. He said he was taken aback upon observing high prices of animals and complaints by traders of charges they had been paying to contractors.
