Hundreds of goats brought to New Delhi during Eid despite coronavirus restrictions

Local traders in New Delhi have brought hundreds of goats to the city after the Indian government sought to restrict the transportation of sheep and goats due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Footage shows many traders in open-air style livestock markets.

Local governments have urged worshippers to purchase animals online rather than going to local markets to curb the virus outbreak.

Eid al-Adha is a prominent celebration for Muslims where some celebrations involve sacrificing a goat.
