The Delhi Government's Development Ministry has issued some instructions for the upcoming festival of Bakra Eid. On the occasion of Bakra Eid, sacrificing cattle, cows, calves, camels, and other prohibited animals in Delhi is completely illegal, and anyone doing or attempting to do so will be charged with a criminal offence, and legal action will be taken.

The regulations specifically prohibit the sacrifice of cattle, cows, calves, camels, and other animals deemed prohibited within the city limits. Such acts, particularly when carried out in public spaces or on roadsides, are deemed illegal and will be met with legal consequences. The government's directive aims to prevent any disruption to public life and ensure that religious observances are conducted in a manner that respects public health and safety standards.

Furthermore, sacrificing animals in public places is also completely prohibited, and legal action will be taken against those who do so. In addition, illegally buying and selling animals in markets, setting up markets on the streets and lanes, and selling and buying animals are also completely illegal and not permitted.

Furthermore, the guidelines address the critical issue of waste disposal, strictly forbidding the spilling of animal blood and waste into drains, sewers, or public streets. The government has designated specific locations for sacrifice, and adherence to these designated areas is mandatory. Citizens have been encouraged to act as vigilant observers and report any contraventions of these rules to the police or the Development Department, thereby fostering a collaborative approach to ensuring compliance and upholding the law during the festival.

Furthermore, spilling blood into drains, sewers, or the streets after sacrifice, or throwing the waste into sewers or drains, is also strictly prohibited. Sacrifice should only be performed at designated locations and only in authorised locations where permitted.
