Strict action will be taken if cattle-carrying vehicles designated for a particular market are forcibly taken to another cattle market in the capital, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Habibur Rahman 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 on the banner, he said while speaking at a meeting held over the coordination of overall security arrangements at the cattle markets and traffic management.

Highway police and DMP will take steps in case of such incidents, he added.

If such incidents happen, highway police in the area and DMP in Dhaka metropolitan area will take strict legal action.

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.

District magistrates, city corporation magistrates, local police and lease holders of the cattle markets will work in a coordinated way, said the DMP Commissioner.

He also urged the lease holder to erect barricades surrounding the cattle markets to keep the roads hassle-free.
