Hyderabad is bustling as residents gear up to celebrate Bakrid on Saturday. The city is lively, with people making preparations for Eid. To ensure everything goes smoothly, Hyderabad police have increased security and asked everyone to follow government guidelines.
Stalls have popped up in areas like Falaknuma, Chandrayanagutta, Barkas, and Malakpet. Traders are selling sheep pairs between Rs 26,000 and Rs 30,000, varying by size and breed. Prices tend to drop after the first day of Eid.
The trend of using Qurbani Services is growing. Many Muslim families prefer these agencies, which handle the entire sacrifice process, including slaughtering, processing, and home delivery of the meat.
People living in flats or mixed communities find remote sacrifice convenient. Akhlaq Ahmed Ansari noted that even some traditional Old City residents are choosing this method.
Authorities have cleaned and prepared Eidgahs like Mir Alam, Madannapet, and Masab Tank for prayers. The TS Wakf Board, local MLAs, and police have inspected these sites.
Maulana Mohammed Rizwan Qureshi, from Mecca Masjid, emphasized that sacrificial animals must meet age and health requirements. Clerics and officials urge proper disposal of animal remains to maintain cleanliness.
The Hyderabad city police have set up robust security for the festival. Check posts are active in key areas, and surveillance has increased.
On Friday, City Police Commissioner CV Anand visited check posts at Goshala Jiyaguda, MJ Bridge, Hasan Nagar, and Bandlaguda. He spoke with officers about the situation and issued instructions to ensure a peaceful festival.
The Commissioner urged the public to cooperate with the police to maintain order in the city.
