‘Actions to be taken if anyone tries to take extortion from sales of rawhides`

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Habibur Rahman has said that police will take stringent actions if anyone tries to extort or influence the buy and sell of rawhide during the Eid-ul-Azha.

The DMP commissioner made the warning at a coordination meeting on collection of rawhide of sacrificial animal, safety of vehicles carrying rawhides and traffic management at DMP headquarters ahead of Eid-ul-Azha on Saturday.

 “We are alert so that no one can create any syndicate over the buy and sale of rawhide,” he said.

He said that the sale of rawhide will not be allowed on bridges or roads in Jatrabari, Hazaribagh, Newmarket, Gabtali and other areas on the day of Eid.

Intelligence surveillance will be beefed up so that price of salt cannot increase and create an artificial crisis, he added.
