Helemul Alam
The two Dhaka city corporations are going to set up 20 makeshift cattle markets in the capital for upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, which will be observed in October.
Of those, Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) will set up 12 cattle markets, while Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) will set up the remaining eight. Apart from these, there is a permanent cattle market in Cabtoli.
Under DSCC, the number of makeshift cattle markets was 10 in 2013, while it was nine under the north the same year, said officials of the city corporations.
This year two new cattle markets are added-one is Bangladesh Math in Lalbagh and the other is the open space between Kamrangirchar Islam chairman house crossing and Buriganga embankment. The cattle market in Taltala Mohila Polytechnic area of DNCC is dropped from the list this year, said sources at the city corporations.
The DNCC and DSCC authorities have already invited tenders for the lease of the cattle markets and the submission of schedules will open on August 11 and 12 respectively.
The DSCC earnedTk 6.23 crore from 10 cattle markets, while the DNCC earnedTk 6.88 crore from nine markets in 2013.
"We have a target to earn more money from the cattle markets this year, for which we will go for re-tenders if we don't get satisfactory offers, “ said Md Aminul Islam, chief estate officer of the DNCC, adding that they had already published the date of two re-tenders in the tender notice.
Aminul said they were keeping tender boxes in seven places-the commissioner's office of Dhaka division, chief estate officer's office of the DNCC at Banani, and five zonal offices of the DNCC, to ensure participation of all.
Chief estate officer of the DSCC, Khalid Ahmed, said they would also go for re-tenders if they did not get satisfactory offers.
Sources of both the city corporations said a section of the ruling party men every year created syndicates to take lease of the cattle markets at lower prices, and this year these men were also active.
The amount of Hasil (charge that buyers pay on the purchasing price) will remain same like previous year. Last year, the Hasil wasTk 50 against every Tk 1,000.
The other cattle markets of DSCC are Jhigatola-Hazaribagh ground, Rahmatganj playground, Meradiya Bazar Khilgaon, Sadeque Hossain Khoka playground, Adarsha School field and its adjoining DCC's open space at Golapbagh, Armanitola playground, Moitri Shangha playground adjoining Uttar Shajahanpur Khilgaon Rail Gate Bazar, Dhupkhola East and Club field, Balurmath adjoining Brothers Union Club in Gopibagh, open space adjoining Postogola crematorium, and Bangladesh Math.
Under DNCC, the markets will be set up at Uttara Azampur Government Primary School field, open space at Khilkhet Banorupa residential project, open space in Agargaon slum, open space adjoining Banani Railway Station, playground of Agargaon slum, open space of Eastern Housing, playground of Polytechnic Institute, open space of adjoining bypass road off block ofBaridhara, and open space adjoining Uttara Sector 11 and 13.
