Pakistan's Largest Cattle Market Prepares For Eid As High Prices Cause Concern

Traders at Pakistan's largest cattle market, located in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, were getting ready for the Muslim festival of Eid amid complaints over sharply rising livestock prices. On July 7, potential buyers bemoaned what they saw as the price-inflating effects of Pakistan's coronavirus restrictions, while traders said increasing costs made it difficult for them to attract customers. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world sacrifice animals on Eid ul Azha or Eid al-Azha, Islam's biggest annual festival.
