With Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakrid, just around the corner, it’s that time of the year again when Bengalureans look forward to eating and sharing delicious biryani. As Muslims in the city gear up to celebrate the much-awaited festival, farmers and shepherds, however, are heading back home, disappointed with the poor demand for sheep.
