Dhaka Metropolitan Meat Traders’ Association has warned the authorities of 'dire consequences' if the importers are given the opportunity to bring in beef. “Some greedy traders are trying to export beef from India and bringing cows from there," the association’s Acting General Secretary Rabiul Alam said at the conference. Though there is no legal way to import cows from India, a large number of the cattle sold in Bangladesh come from that country. Speaking to bdnews24.com about importing beef from India, IBCCI President Taskeen Ahmed said the chamber has no stance on the issue. Taskeen also said he was not aware of any legal obstacle to importing beef from India.
