Ctg cattle markets gain momentum

CHITTAGONG: Cattle markets in the city and the district have gained momentum with lots of buyers and thousands of sacrificial animals started swarming just a week before Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival for the Muslims, reports BSS.

A huge number of sacrificial animals are being brought for sale at different cattle markets in the city including Bibir hat Bazar, Sagorika Bazar, Nurnagar housing society hat, Patenga City Corporation High School premises, Komol Mohajan Hat and Shah Amanat Bridge and Shikolbanga areas.

Traders said there were plenty of supplies of cattle to the markets and their prices were exorbitant in some extent in comparison to the previous year’s Eid-ul-Azha.

There is no shortage of cattle supply to the markets despite total stoppage of importing cattle and buffalo from the neighboring country this year, said Sayed Alam, a cattle trader, who came from Teknaf. Along with city’s biggest cattle market, scores of temporary markets also started drawing attention to the buyers.

Besides the local cattle traders including the wholesalers are still sending their cattle’s at the markets of the port city and different upazilas of the district after purchasing those from different districts of the country, Ibrahim Sawdagor, leasee of Shah Amanat bridge temporary cattle market told BSS yesterday.

Meanwhile, the demand for sacrificial animals has been seemingly increased as the wholesalers are sending large animal consignments to various markets here from different big markets in north eastern district of the country, he added.

Traders said that the price of sacrificial animals was steady but the price may shoot up a bit because of the soaring price of animal food and transport cost this year. “Transport fare might have an impact on the cattle price,” said Kabir Hossain, a cattle trader at Bibir Hat bazar.

Meanwhile, currency screening machines were installed in some of the cattle markets in the city and the district with a view to checking the use of fake notes in the markets.

Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) officials told BSS that all necessary measures had been taken to ensure law and order in and around the cattle markets.

CMP had also taken measures so that the cattle markets are not set up on roads and streets disrupting the vehicular movement and already launched strong traffic management in order to ease traffic congestion in and around cattle markets in the city, they added.
