An unusual eco-friendly Eid-ul-Adha celebration was witnessed in Loni, Ghaziabad, after BJP MLA Nandkishor Gurjar appealed to residents to avoid animal sacrifice and instead cut symbolic goat pictures or goat-shaped cakes. Following the appeal, several families celebrated Bakrid in unique ways, choosing themed cakes and symbolic rituals over traditional sacrifice.
The initiative sparked widespread discussion online, with supporters calling it an innovative and peaceful way to celebrate the festival while critics debated the cultural and religious implications of the appeal.
