The state’s beef ban will lead to more goats being sacrificed on Bakri Eid this year, Samajwadi Party (SP) corporators told the civic body.

The party is anticipating a rise in the number of goat sacrifices from 1 lakh to 3.5 lakh. Its leaders met civic chief Ajoy Mehta yesterday and demanded that facilities at the Deonar slaughterhouse be improved to accommodate the large number of animals that will be sacrificed on Bakri Eid, which is in September this year.
