Bakrid is on Monday that is 17nth.
Muslims sacrifice sheep or cattle as a practice and divide the meat into three equal parts. While one part is distributed among friends, acquaintances and relatives, the other part is for the poor and the destitute and the remaining one they keep for themselves.
With changing times people have started to opt for the ‘Qurbani service’ providers wherein one has to pay a certain amount for the animal to them.
The team takes care of sacrificing the animal, cleaning, piecing and packing the meat, and sends the packets to the family for distribution.
