To maintain security, discipline and normal traffic flow at the capital’s cattle market on the occasion of the upcoming holy Eid-ul-Azha, strict action will be taken against the lessee concerned if he is involved in pulling, coercion or irregularities in cattle carts or animal-carrying vehicles outside the market or on the road, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Additional IGP Mosleh Uddin Ahmed, BPM-Service.
He gave this instruction in his speech as the president at a special coordination meeting held on Tuesday (May 19, 2026) at 11 am at the conference room of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police headquarters on the collection, storage, marketing of sacrificial animal skins and the safety of vehicles carrying raw skins, as well as overall law and order and traffic management in Dhaka metropolis.
