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.
