The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will be granting special online permissions for those who want to sacrifice a goat on the occasion of Eid al-Adha also known as Bakrid. The process will be available for a limited period between August 21 and September 4. A mobile app will also be launched by the BMC for this purpose.

According to The Indian Express, under this new arrangement, anybody with a valid gate pass can log on to the official website of the BMC and upload his/her identification proof and gate pass number and obtain a customised licence to sacrifice an animal.
