Hyderabad City Police to meet cattle traders, ensure peaceful Bakrid

Hyderabad: Elaborate planning is being done by the police in tri-commissionerates of Hyderabad, Rachakonda and Cyberabad in view of the Eid-ul-Adha festival to be celebrated next month.

Eid-ul-Adha usually referred to as Bakrid in the sub-continent of India witnesses large scale trade of cattle and sheep running into the millions of rupees. Cattle including



ox, bull and camel are sold by the traders in the run up to the festival.

Skirmishes between cattle traders and cow vigilante groups over the years have reportedly been flaring up communal tensions. To prevent any trouble the police higher-ups asked the DCP and officials below the rank to hold meetings and make plans to ensure no communal incident take place.
