A Bangladeshi currently in India for medical treatment shared his distress on social media after being unable to find beef or mutton during Eid-ul-Azha. While his family in Bangladesh celebrated the festival, he spent the day alone and unable to prepare a special meal for his young child. Despite visiting several markets from the previous afternoon until after Eid prayers, he could not buy even one or two kilograms of meat.

According to his account, he traveled nearly 40 kilometers but failed to find beef or even a kilogram of mutton. In his search, he also forgot to buy chicken. He expressed deep sadness that for the first time in his life, Eid and Qurbani passed without celebration or sacrifice.

The report notes that many expatriates living abroad for treatment or work experience similar loneliness during Eid, but his inability to bring joy to his child made this festival especially painful.
