Overstated rates force buyers to leave markets without sacrificial animals
July 19, 2021
Rawalpindi : With only two days left for the Eid-ul-Azha, the buyers flocking cattle markets in Rawalpindi are left with little option, but to return home without buying sacrificial animals.
Residents, who arrived here at Bhatta Chowk sale point along with their jubilant children, told this agency on Sunday that the animal sellers were demanding exorbitant prices which were beyond their purchasing power.
Ghais Haider, a buyer at the market, said last year he purchased a small goat of 25 kilograms against Rs30,000, but now the same animal was being sold at up to Rs60,000 which showed that the rate of sacrificial animal had gone up by 100 per cent.
