Goats of diverse breeds flood Raja Bazaar market ahead of Bakrid
Patna: With Bakrid just days away, city's Raja Bazaar cattle market witnessed a significant surge in visitors on Thursday as the Muslim faithful purchased goats for qurbani (sacrificial rituals) during the festival on June 7. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sellers, who have come not only from various parts of Bihar but also from other states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh with thousands of goats of diverse breeds, were hopeful of selling all the cattle by Friday. "I sold 136 indigenous goats weighing 12-18kg each, priced between Rs 11,000 and Rs 20,000. Only four goats are left. We are sure that we will sell the remaining by Friday. The market was good this year, and we witnessed a huge rush," said Moh Aslam from Begusarai. While on an average the goats are priced between Rs 10,000-12,000, premium specimens fetched Rs 80,000-1.5 lakh, based on their size and breed like Barbari from Etawah, UP, and Totapari from Jaipur, Rajasthan, — highly sought after for their distinctive appearance. Additionally, the market features Jamnapari from UP, Ajmeri from Ajmer, Rajasthan, and various local breeds from several Bihar districts, including Buxar, Begusarai, Bhojpur, Purnia, Kishanganj, Saharsa, Arwal, Jehanabad and Siwan. Nazre Alam, a vendor from Azamgarh's Mubarakpur in UP, said he bought 45 goats, mainly Totapari and Ajmeri breeds. "I sold 43 cattle heads within a week, each in the range of Rs 35,000 to Rs 80,000, weighing 30kg to 45kg. Of the three left, one costs Rs 1.5 lakh, weighing 140kg, while the other two are priced at Rs 95,000 (weighing 80-90 kg)," he said. Mohd Ziaullah Khan, coordinator of the cattle market, said over 200 traders brought around 10,000 sacrificial animals for sale. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Another vendor, Anisur Haque, a resident of Azimabad, who brought two species of goat — Sirohi from Rajasthan and Gujri of northern India — said they cost Rs 80,000 a pair. "They look more appealing predominantly because of their brown coat with dark patches and sturdy build. They weigh 40-45kg," he said.

Tata Power's Anokha Dhaaga smart circularity programme achieves milestone in plastic waste conversion MUMBAI: Tata Power's Anokha Dhaaga Smart Circularity programme has successfully converted 5,000 kgs of single-use plastic waste into recycled fabric products. The initiative, operated by women across six centres, has generated over Rs 20 lakh in fair-trade earnings while addressing plastic pollution concerns through community engagement. The initiative supports Tata Power's #SustainableisAttainable vision. Additionally, the programme incorporated denim collection efforts, providing new utility to previously worn clothing items. This programme corresponds with World Environment Day 2025's theme—"End Plastic Pollution." The initiative supports the #BeatPlasticPollution campaign by demonstrating how environmental innovation and community participation can effectively address plastic waste issues while creating positive social and environmental outcomes, an official said on Wednesday. World Environment Day 2025 advocates for reconsidering plastic usage, based on scientific research regarding its environmental impact, promoting the principles of refusing, reducing, reusing, recycling, and rethinking plastic consumption. 'The initiative commenced with plastic collection activities across Tata Power's Trombay facility, residential areas, and various Tata Group and Tata Power offices in Mumbai. Through active participation from employees and their families, substantial plastic waste was prevented from reaching landfills,' the official said. Working alongside ReCircle, a waste management social enterprise, and their Safai Saathis, the collected plastic was processed into RPET fabric. The women of Anokha Dhaaga received training to create sustainable products from this recycled material, resulting in numerous finished items, including clothing and bags, the official added.
