Fisheries and Livestock Minister Md Abdur Rahman on Sunday said the government has taken a strict stance along the bordering area so that no cattle can enter into the country illegally ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
“Allegations have been found against some dishonest people that they are involved in bringing cattle illegally to discourage our local farmers ahead of the Eid-ul-Azha. However, the government has taken a stringent measure in this regard,” he said, reports UNB.
A request will be made to the Home Ministry to take necessary steps, he said while speaking at a programme held at Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University on the occasion of World Milk Day-2024, as a chief guest.
Mentioning that milk production will be increased depending on milk consumption, the minister said the government is working to achieve self-sufficiency by increasing milk production.
He also assured of taking steps so that the farmers can get fair prices of their produced products.
