Dhaka North and Dhaka South city corporations will hold a five-day cattle market from 17 July amid an alarming surge in Covid-19 cases across the country.
However, preparations relating to setting up the markets can be taken from two days before the selling of the sacrificial animals begins, reads a notification issued by the Dhaka North City Corporation.
A total of 20 cattle markets will be set up in the capital with 10 each in Dhaka North City Corporation and Dhaka South City Corporation.
The city corporation authorities announced their final list of marketplaces today while there has been a possibility that the ongoing strict lockdown would be relaxed after 14 July, according to a Cabinet Division source.
The government has been considering to allow private transport and shopping outlets to operate, along with sacrificial animal markets, in compliance with health guidelines.
Earlier, the government imposed an all-out lockdown from 1 July, which was later extended for another week.
