Dhaka, Aug 4 (UNB) - Cattle markets in the city are getting prepared ahead of Eid-ul-Azha in full swing as traders bring a huge number of sacrificial animals from across the country to the capital for sales.   Visiting different cattle markets in the city, the UNB correspondent found that structures for keeping the cattle are being prepared in the makeshift cattle markets.   Leasers were also taking special measures to deal with rains in the days ahead.       Some 25 makeshift cattle markets will be set up in the capital under Dhaka North and South City Corporations (DNCC and DSCC), up from 22 last year.   The DSCC will host 14 cattle markets, while the DNCC will accommodate the other 11. Apart from the makeshift cattle markets, the permanent cattle market in Gabtoli will also be in business.
