SIALKOT: The high prices of sacrificial animals were keeping buyers away from sacrificial animals in local make-shift markets of sacrificial animals being established in Sialkot, Daska, Sambrial, Uggoki, Satrah, Daska, Chawinda, Badiana, Pasrur and surrounding areas.
Though Eidul Azha was now fast approaching, the sacrificial animals including goats, sheep, cows, bulls and even camels reaching here in a small number, this short number of the sacrificial animals was also the major cause behind their high prices here.
People were of the view that prices of the sacrificial animals (though available in short number) were very high as compared to their last year’s prices. They said that these prices were still out of reach of the common man, persuading them to join the cost-sharing scarifies.
According to the lucrative banners displayed, mostly the religious organizations offered a package for cost-sharing sacrifice of the cow at Rs 10,000 to 12,000 per share for sacrifice of cow with the expenditures of butchers, who will slaughter these animals during the Eid days.
Some daily waged people said that these packages were also out of reach for them following the sky-rocketing price hike in the country, however, they would try to afford this offer of joining the cost-sharing sacrifices in such sky-rocketing price hike, which was putting almost all the things out of the reach of the common man.
