To maintain control over the sacrificial rawhide market during Eid-ul-Adha, the government has imposed a 10-day ban on transporting rawhide to Dhaka from other districts, starting from Eid day, the Ministry of Commerce announced.

Earlier, on May 25, Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashiruddin had indicated that this measure would help regulate supply. Additionally, 30,000 tonnes of salt will be distributed nationwide free of charge to assist with local preservation of rawhide. The public has also been encouraged to donate hides to madrasas or orphanages, which can preserve and later sell them.
