Biggest cattle market in the southwest region running without lease
The biggest cattle market in the southwest region, in “Sat mile” (7 Miles) in Sharsha Upazila of Jashore, is running without a lease.
By depositing a small amount of money in the government treasury, a local group of BNP men took control of the market. The administration is pretending not to know the matter.
Jamal Uddin, a local resident, said that the lease of Sat Mile cattle market in Baganchra ended on April 13 this year.
After that, Baganchra Union Awami League general secretary Elias Kabir Bakul and Kaiba Union Awami League president Hasan Firoz Tinku illegally ran the market without any lease.
Traders accepted cards from them for Tk3000, but they used to collect extra Tk500 per cow from them. Tk1000-1200 taka per cow was collected from common buyers.
