Next Monday is the holy Eid-ul-Azha. On this occasion, buying and selling of sacrificial animals has started in the capital from last Thursday. It will continue until the day of Eid. Since the beginning of selling animals in the market, the buyers have been complaining about the price. However, after talking to the sellers and the people involved in the management of the hut, it is known that the sales have increased after giving some discount in the price today.
After buying the animal, you have to leave the market with the money. On the surface, it can be seen that there is a crowd in front of the Hasil house in the eastern housing area. Because of the high sales, there is a long wait in front of the hall.
