Eid Al Adha - Residents urged to use apps as abattoirs

Abattoirs in UAE are preparing for the busy Eid Al Adha season. Dubai Municipality has urged residents who plan to offer sacrifices to use apps to avoid delays.

To cater to the demand during Eid, the authority collaborated with seven smart applications - Al Mawashi, Turki, Shabab Al Freej, Dhabayih Aldaar, Al Anoud Slaughters, Dhabayeh UAE, and Tender Meat, to offer services to residents

Fathima Al Harmoudi, Occupational Health and Safety Officer at the Dubai Municipality, said, "We request the residents to order through a smart app as soon as possible and do not wait until the day of sacrifice as we are expecting many sacrifices this year. The animals are slaughtered under Municipality supervision in the abattoirs."

Dubai Municipality has affirmed that all the precautionary measures are put in place, and the staff's health is regularly checked.

Al Harmoudi said that the abattoirs offer Sharia-compliant livestock slaughtering services, guaranteeing the health and safety of the people as they prepare and slaughter livestock in a clean and hygienic environment.
