Cattle traders and truck drivers who frequently transport cattle from Chapainawabganj to Dhaka and Chittagong before Eid-ul-Azha are impressed with the recent fall of highway extortion. “Travelling has improved significantly in the last two or three years,” said Abul Kalam Azad, a cattle trader from Chapainawabganj’s Mohipur village. During the journey, Azad reminisced about his experience of cattle trading. “That is not to say that we did not get extorted between Dhaka and Chittagong,” Azad added. When the officials saw it was a cattle truck, they let it go without further ado.
