What's right
What's wrong
Breakdown
The provided web context strongly supports all aspects of the claim. Multiple sources confirm that the Delhi government has issued guidelines prohibiting the sacrifice of cows, calves, and camels, and other prohibited animals, ahead of Bakrid.
These sources also corroborate that such sacrifices are illegal in Delhi and will attract criminal cases. Furthermore, the guidelines explicitly prohibit sacrificing animals in public places, on roads, or in streets.
The claim that buying and selling animals illegally in markets, on roads, or in streets is illegal is also supported. The prohibition of disposing of blood or waste from sacrifices in drains, sewers, or on roads is also confirmed.
Finally, the context supports that sacrifices are only permitted in valid, designated locations, and buying and selling of animals is restricted to valid methods in authorized locations. [1][2][3]
