Butchers have increased their fee for slaughter of sacrificial animals on Eid day.
Aslam, a butcher in Bahawalpur, said that “I will charge Rs7,000 for slaughter of goat and Rs20,000 for slaughter of buffalo or cow."
When he was asked why he was charging higher fee while a layman was unable to pay so much money to a butcher due to sky-rocketing price hike then he replied.
"You can conduct survey of market in Bahawalpur city where butchers have announced schedule of fee charging as Rs 10,000 for slaughter of goat and Rs 25,000 for slaughter of buffalo or cow."
