Cattle are entering Bangladesh through different places, crossing the Bangladesh-India border ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.

It was learnt that more cattle than last year are being brought through several corridors along the border although there is strong vigilance by Indian border security force in certain places to stop cattle export.

According to the department of livestock services, there are some 40 lakh healthy cattle including buffaloes in the country, against the demand of an estimated 50 lakh on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest festival of Muslims.

Prothom Alo correspondents from respective areas reported that traders are bringing more cattle than last year through different points along the border in the northern districts although the Indian authorities have strengthened security measures along the border to stop cattle to enter Bangladesh ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
