‘No scope to take designated cattle-carrying vehicles to other markets’

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Habibur Rahman has said that there is no scope to take a cattle-carrying vehicle designated for a particular market to another market. Stern actions will be taken if anyone forcibly takes those to another cattle market in the capital.

The DMP commissioner made the warning while speaking at a meeting held over the coordination of overall security arrangements at the cattle markets and traffic management on Tuesday.

Traders will have to put up a banner in front of the truck specifying its destination and if necessary, include the mobile number of the leaseholder of the cattle market. If such incidents happen, highway police in the area and DMP in Dhaka metropolitan area will take strict legal actions, he said.

The cattle markets will be allowed on designated places set by city corporations and if anyone tries to set up a cattle market anywhere else, police officials concerned will look into it.
