Ahead of Eidul Azha the business activities of blacksmiths are on rise in twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
The people need sharp knives for the slaughter of sacrificial animals and to chop meat, specially on Eidul Azha.
Khuram Iqbal a blacksmith in Rawalpindi told this agency, that hundreds of people are visiting his shop, placing orders for sharp knives required for sacrificing animals on Eid day.
“These are our weeks in which our business booms to earn money,” he remarked. A knife shop owner at Raja Bazaar said that the people are buying knives in large numbers.
A buyer Sharif Ullah said that he was buying a knife for the slaughtering of animal on Eid, because sharpened new knife is required for proper slaughtering of sacrificial animals. Some blacksmiths are providing door-to-door mobile service for sharpening of old knives in houses. “We charge Rs50-100 depending the quality of the knife,” said a mobile service blacksmith Qasim Ali. Sadiq Hussain a resident of Khana Pul said this is the best time to prepare for Eid.
