Home Affairs Adviser Jahangir Alam has assured that all sacrificial waste from Eid-ul-Adha will be removed within 12 hours.

“We’re also committed to ensuring fair prices for raw hides, which are a rightful asset of the poor,” he said. “We’ve discussed that the current 5% market toll is too high. Although we couldn’t reduce it this time, we’re working to bring it down to no more than 3% in the future.”

This year, 20 designated cattle markets will be set up across the two city corporations of Dhaka. “No animals will be allowed on the streets, and Ansar personnel will be deployed to maintain law and order,” the Adviser added.
