Cattle market leaseholders have already completed their preparations to receive the rush of traders and buyers this Eid-ul-Azha. Visiting several cattle markets this correspondent found that traders are asking for an average of Tk50,000-60,000 for 100 kilograms of meat which was Tk40,000-50,000 last year. Apart from the permanent cattle market in Gabtoli, Dhaka south has 13 temporary ones while Dhaka north has 8. The market leaseholders will not collect more money ignoring the city corporation’s designated rate. “The city corporation’s mobile court will visit all the cattle market to monitor the matter,” he added.
