Uttar Pradesh government has issued an order related to Bakri-Eid. As per the new notification, gatherings of more than 50 people to celebrate Bakri-Eid and animal sacrifice at public places will not be allowed this year due to the Covid-19 situation, said the Uttar Pradesh government in fresh directives.
A decision regarding this was taken during a Covid-19 review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The CM told senior officials to make all necessary arrangements for the festival, an official spokesperson was quoted as saying by PTI.
In view of Covid, not more than 50 people should gather at any place at a given time for any event related to Bakrid, the official said.
It should also be ensured that no cow, camel or any other banned animal is sacrificed anywhere. Only designated places or private premises should be used for animal sacrifices, he said.
Special care should be taken for cleanliness, the official added.
Eid ul-Adha will be celebrated in the state on Wednesday.
