The sale of goats this year for Eid-Ul-Adha has fallen significantly due to COVID-19, because of which the cattle traders are majorly hit. They complained about the low prices and less footfall in the market.
Both buyers and sellers said that fewer people had come to buy goats for the festival.
Eid-Ul-Adha or Bakra-Eid is celebrated with much gusto among Muslims. However, this year, due to the ongoing pandemic, the spirit in the Jamia Nagar market of New Delhi was low.
While most people opted for small and inexpensive animals, there were people like Abdul Masood, who bought goats worth ₹2 lakh for the sake of helping the poor in times of difficulty.
