All the devotees could have purchased animal stock for eventual consumption hence to save animal stock seems to be little invalid in this scenario. Those who have sold have got the value and those who have purchased have paid the price as this is done in every market every day. Hence no one is at loss. I suggest our well educated officers rather than stopping the pilgrims this time try to work on the education of people to abolish the bad custom of sacrifice of innocent animals’ lives.
