Lucknow: On Bakra-Eid, People To Cut Cakes, Not Goats

Earlier on Wednesday, the Uttarakhand High Court today imposed a ban on slaughter of goats, sheep or buffaloes in the open or in public on the occasion of Eid-ul-Juha directing authorities to ensure it is done only in abattoirs.



New Delhi: As the nation prepares to celebrate Eid al-Adha, people in Lucknow have opted to celebrate the day differently.

In Lucknow, a bakery is selling cakes with pictures of goats printed on it which they will cut instead of sacrificing an animal.

‘The custom of sacrificing an animal on Bakrid is not right. I appeal to everyone to celebrate the festival by cutting a cake instead of an animal,’ a buyer was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.



The final days of hajj coincide with the Eid al-Adha holiday, or "Feast of Sacrifice," to commemorate Abraham's test of faith. Muslims slaughter livestock and distribute the meat to the poor.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Uttarakhand High Court today imposed a ban on slaughter of goats, sheep or buffaloes in the open or in public on the occasion of Eid-ul-Juha directing authorities to ensure it is done only in abattoirs.

Making it clear that the order applied to one and all irrespective of religion, the court also imposed a ban on animal sacrifice inside Hindu temples.

Taking 'suo motu' cognisance of large-scale slaughter of goats and other animals as part of Eid-ul-Juha celebrations, the division bench of Justice Rajiv Sharma and Justice Manoj Tiwari ordered that the slaughter of goats, sheep or buffaloes not take place in the open or in public and must be done in slaughterhouses only.

Samsung Galaxy A10 to be company's first phone with UD fingerprint reader

It seems that Samsung is sticking to its plan of implementing new features to its mid-range A-series first and the most recent rumor is a testament for that even though it sounds like a long shot. According to a Chinese leakster, Samsung is working on an upper-mid-range Galaxy A10 smartphone with an under-display fingerprint reader. The tweet doesn't reveal anything else although, this is not the first time we hear of a Galaxy A10 coming. The same account on Twitter reported that Samsung is working on a Galaxy A model powered by a Snapdragon 845 SoC. The Galaxy A10 seems like the perfect fit for the FP reader and the flagship SoC given that the Galaxy A8s, for example, is rocking a Snapdragon 710. We hope that more evidence will pile up soon because at this point we are just speculating and guessing.
