SATKHIRA, June 9, 2025 (BSS) - Commerce Adviser Sk. Bashir Uddin today put emphasis on properly preserving the rawhides of sacrificial animals with salt to avert the rawhides from being rotten.
The Commerce Adviser said this while replying to questions of reporters at Shyamnagar upazila in Satkhira.
He said that if the seasonal traders fail to properly preserve the rawhides of sacrificial animals with salt, then those would get rotten and thus would not be able to avail fair prices of those.
He also alleged that a vested quarter along with some unholy businessmen is spreading false propaganda about the rawhides of sacrificial animals through various social media and thus trying to make a downfall in the rawhides price during this Holy Eid -ul Azha.
Highlighting various steps of the interim government centring the Holy Eid –ul- Azha, Bashir said that the government has provided salt free of cost ahead of the Eid to properly preserve the rawhides, imparted training to some 86,000 butchers (Kosai), and disbursed some TK 220 crore as incentives to the leather sector.
He mentioned that the seasonal traders would get fair price of rawhides if they preserve those following the proper method.
