Another name for Eid al-Adha is Festival of Sacrifice and it is an important holiday celebrated across the world by Muslims. The day marks the day Prophet Ibrahim was prepared to sacrifice his son as a way of pleasing God, now recognized by offering an animal. Eid-ul-Azha brings lively scenes to Hyderabad, mainly because of the brisk trade in cattle. Nevertheless, because there is little planning and no official markets set up by the local government, many problems have arisen. Lack of designated areas for cattle trades has turned the festival into a scene of confusion, heavy crowding and worrying safety issues in town.

A Strong Culture Weakening from Poor Roads

Demand for sacrificial animals grows a great deal in the weeks leading up to Eid. For centuries, governments have designated areas to set up temporary markets to control the flow of merchants and customers. Since the city offers only a limited number of markets, street vendors select available spaces, even near important buildings such as schools and hospitals. This unintentional growth in public areas obstructs cars and leads to unclean spaces. People living there have protested against the noise, waste and a general loss of public order during this period.

Challenge Related to Uncontrolled Cattle Trading

Cattle trading without laws has made the festival experience in Hyderabad a bigger difficulty each year. Because there are no special markets, sellers appear in people’s homes, offices and busier roads. Because of this disorder, doesn’t permit proper management of the crowd and the traffic, especially where places are crowded at Eid-ul-Azha. As a consequence, many roads become extremely clogged, lasting for many hours and slowing down normal and emergency activities. Inspite of many requests from the public and civil society, the municipal corporation has done little to arrange for or enforce zoning rules for markets.

Dealing with Traffic and Facing Commuter Problems

Traffic in the city during Eid is a clear example of how urban planning isn’t enough in Hyderabad. Between Mehdipatnam, Charminar and Falak Numa, roads turn into makeshift parks for cattle traders, who take up each lane. People who commute end up on long alternate paths or remain trapped in long traffic jams. Crowdedness and delays on public transportation are common now. Because of this, not only do people find it hard to move around the city, but they also have to deal with extra stress from work. Studying and getting holiday things together in noisy, crowded urban places.

Problems with Sanitation in City Neighborhoods

During Eid, another serious issue is what to do about sanitation. Without regulations, animals on the streets remain, causing a lot of waste created by their feces, vaste food scraps rubbish and food and packaging. As these animal sale sites have no formal way to deal with waste. Rubbish builds quickly and this causes flies, stray dogs and is unsafe for people. In many regions, residents are clearing up the garbage and other messes themselves because the workers responsible for cleaning the town streets are exhausted. This situation shows that authorities must greatly improve how they manage waste in the weeks leading up to festivals.

 Issues and Risks for People Who Live There?

The number of disturbances to public safety is on the rise this season in Hyderabad. Because so many animals and people gather in unregulated markets for the Eid-ul-Azha. The likelihood of accidents and disease outbreaks grows. In both crammed alleyways and open spaces, aggressive animals have harmed kids or vehicles have struck stalls, injuring them. Besides, when vets fail to check animals regularly and owners keep them in poor shelters, we worry that diseases can spread to people in the area. As a result, it is obvious that the government’s failure to think ahead is putting public safety at risk.

 Problems With the Municipal Corporation’s Answer

The authorities overseeing Hyderabad have received a lot of criticism for not being ready and strict enough during Eid holidays. Teachers understand that the same challenges return year after year, but few signs indicate prepared planning beforehand. No particular rules exist to establish cattle trading areas or organize coordination with law enforcement to prevent breaking of the law in public places. Authorities rarely properly apply the few guidelines in place, and they usually allow people who break them to get away with it. Citizens believe that clearly defining market districts, providing sanitation help, and promoting public education could greatly reduce the crisis.

Working as a Group in our Area

Because action from officials has stalled, a number of community groups and NGOs have set out with ideas. Residents in a few places have organized open-air pens and get sanitation help from private companies. Various resident welfare associations are encouraging local sellers to change their methods and assisting with increased animal care and cleaning up rubbish. Nevertheless, these steps are good, yet they shouldn’t be seen as a substitute for basic reform. The key to sustainable reform is official involvement in better city planning and more active civic participation.

 Why We Need Policy to Address This

The challenges that happen each Eid prove there is a flaw in urban system management. Because Hyderabad is growing quickly, there is a need to rethink how public events and spaces are looked after. Creating rules for temporary markets, offering standard facilities and placing traffic personnel can reduce many of the current pressures. The same goes for community awareness about why everyone must comply with the guidelines. When policies, planning and community participation are used wisely, the festival can be presented in a clean, respectful way that honors all residents.

Conclusion

During Eid, people reflect, act with kindness and join their community. Still, traffic, poor sanitation, and the risks to public safety caused by trading animals on the roads often cut short the fun of Eid in Hyderabad. It’s not only sacrifice that is important planning matters too. Unless the municipality acts quickly with strong policies, Eid-ul-Azha could become an annoyance to everyone. Citizens and authorities must work together to ensure that the city’s customs and modern lifestyle coexist in harmony so that the festival is honored in Hyderabad.
