As Eidul Adha approaches, residents of Karachi are busy preparing for Qurbani (sacrifice). One crucial aspect of these preparations is finding a suitable and affordable Qasai (butcher). This year, the Meat Merchants Association has released the updated rates for slaughtering sacrificial animals, reflecting a significant increase compared to previous years.
Slaughtering Rates for Eidul Adha 2024
For those planning to perform Qurbani, here are the official rates set by the Meat Merchants Association for the first day of Eid:
- Cow: Rs20,000
- Goat: Rs10,000
- Camel: Rs40,000
According to Nadeem Qureshi, a representative of the Meat Merchants Association, the rates for the second and third days of Eid will be substantially lower, almost halving from the initial day’s prices. This reduction intended to ease the financial burden on those who opt to perform their Qurbani later.
