A big loss in trade in valley is a know thing to all but the fact of the matter is that this flood hit is not damaging trade in city only but the trade of the shepherds who used to visit valley on the eve of the Eid for the trade of their sheeps, Camels etc. These people visit city from urban areas so with a pile of animals but this year due to flood people blame all in vain. " i crossed numerous mountains and more than a hundred kilometers to reach the bussiness hub of kashmir, but after being here what i found is this that people are busy in making their survival happen," said Mohammad amin khan from kupwara."From last twenty years i have been visiting Srinagar for the said trade but i haven't seen such disaster. I too lost many of my animals due to the thunder storms and rain on mountains but some how i managed to reach city after being here i found just a single thing that all my affords are in vain," another shepherd told 5 dariya. "The place known as Eid gah is famous for the sell and purchase of animals  on eid every year but this year we have been through a great loss because of the flood hit in the valley," a purchaser Faizaan nabi said. "There should be some initatives taken by the state government so that people who visit srinagar and its outskirts for the purchase of animals on the eve of famous Bakra Eid so that there can be an ease in the sell and purchase of animals,  atleast there should be some relief and relaxation for either of buyers and sellers which can help people of valley in many of aspects," He added.
