Cattle markets spring to life amid soaring prices
With Eidul Azha approaching, cattle markets across the metropolis have come alive with the hustle and bustle of buyers and sellers, but this year's skyrocketing prices have left citizens stunned. From the outskirts to the heart of the city, several makeshift livestock markets have been set up where people, including children, are eagerly heading to select their preferred sacrificial animals. However, prices for both small and large animals have surged drastically, making it difficult for many to afford this religious obligation. At the markets, the starting price of a bull is reported to be around Rs350,000, calves range between Rs200,000 to Rs250,000, and camels are being sold for Rs400,000 to Rs800,000. The steep rise in prices, driven by inflation and supply costs, has left both sellers and buyers anxious. To attract buyers, vendors have gone to great lengths to groom and decorate the animals. Protective measures against the summer heat are also in place as sellers are seen cooling their livestock with cold water baths and offering them traditional desi drinks. Makeshift shades have been erected to shelter the animals from the harsh sun. Meanwhile, the prices of fodder have also soared. Dry fodder such as bhoosa and toori is being sold for Rs800 to Rs850 per 40kg, while chopped green fodder costs Rs600 per 40kg, and unchopped green fodder is priced at Rs400 per 40kg. At Manawan Mandi, traders have arranged for their own electricity via generators and installed borewells for the animals' drinking water. However, no government-provided facilities like water filtration units or cooling systems for visitors have been set up. A complaints cell has been established, but many citizens remain concerned about the lack of basic amenities. Despite the challenges, the buying and selling of sacrificial animals continues in full swing.

Cattle markets buzz, but prices soar
As Eidul Azha approaches, the cattle markets are setting up in different specified places of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), including Sangjhani, Sector I-15, Bharakahu, Lehtrar Road and Islamabad Expressway. At I-15 cattle markets, Abdul Shakoor, who brought his animals from Arifwala, said: "We are satisfied with the market setup, especially the availability of basic facilities like water and electricity." He emphasised that water is crucial for maintaining the health and vitality of the animals when the temperature is at its peak. Moin Khan, the manager of the Mandi, highlighted that the market spans over 1,000 kanals and is divided into blocks to streamline management. "We have focused particularly on ensuring the availability of water, electricity, and proper security arrangements," he said. Each trader has been allotted around 150 to 200 square feet of space to conduct business in an organised way, he said, adding that additional measures have also been taken to ensure safety and prevent any untoward incidents. The different sizes of cow, goat, and sheep are available in this mandi but prices are high as compared to last year. Sardar Shah, a goat seller from Mianwali said that the prices of goat are between Rs50,000 and Rs350,000 according to their specifications. While Muhammad Imran, another seller, who brought their cows from Multan, offered prices Rs230,000 to Rs600,000 or their bulls depending on their weight and size. However, residents are enthusiastic about the market's setup, but got frustrated over the high prices of both small and big animals. A customer, Abdul Manan, who was looking for a sacrificial animal, said: "The market is impressive in scale, but the prices are shockingly high. A goat of average weight is being sold for Rs120,000, significantly more than what I paid last year for a similar one." On the other hand, traders argued that the cost of raising animals has increased, which has forced them to increase the prices. Sardar Shah explained that fodder, transport, and other essentials are expensive which affects the final price of the animals. Despite high prices, buyers are struggling to find suitable animals for the Islamic ritual. They are actively bargaining to negotiate better prices and remain hopeful of finding their desired animal in the large cattle markets, where animals of all sizes are available.

Eid cattle market opens in Rawalpindi
With Eidul Azha falling in the first week of June, the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) has awarded the contract for the largest livestock market, valued at Rs165.7 million. The market for sacrificial animals set up at Bhatta Ground has started receiving sacrificial animals from across the country to facilitate the residents of the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. However, the contractor is still liable to pay 50% of the remaining dues under the contract and is also obligated to pay Rs16.5m in income tax. In light of previous instances where contractors fled without clearing dues and taxes, the Board has taken a more vigilant approach this year. Monitoring of the cattle market has been significantly tightened. The contract to set up the livestock market at Bhatta Ground was awarded to Moin & Co for Rs165.7m. Fifty percent of the contract amount has already been received, while recovery of the remaining 50% is still pending. Sources in the RCB indicate that the final approval letter for the contract has not yet been issued. Once issued, the contractor will be required to pay the remaining dues to the board and the Rs16.5m in income tax to the government within seven days. Meanwhile, livestock from across the country has started arriving at Bhatta Ground, and the pace is expected to pick up from June 1. Traders from all over Pakistan will bring cows, bulls, calves, camels, goats, and sheep to the market. However, this year, prices of sacrificial animals are expected to be higher than last year, making it more difficult for buyers to find animals within their budget. To ensure the success of the official cattle market, the Board has imposed a ban on the sale of sacrificial animals on roads, open plots, private enclosures, and walled areas throughout the cantonment. Selling animals outside the Bhatta Ground market will not be allowed, and enforcement teams have been formed to take action against violators. On the other hand, collecting the remaining 50% of the contract dues and the Rs16.5m income tax from the contractor has become a major challenge for the RCB. According to sources, monitoring teams from the board will oversee the livestock market operations and ensure timely recovery of all outstanding payments and taxes. Meanwhile, the twin cities are abuzz with activity as vendors and buyers alike prepare for the festive occasion. The markets, set up in various locations, offer goats, cows and other livestock for sacrifice. Buyers can be seen haggling over prices, inspecting the health and quality of the animals and negotiating with vendors.
