Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Atiqul Islam has announced a Tk1,000 incentive for people who bring their animals for sacrifice to a field next to Paris Road in Mirpur.
"DNCC will pay Tk 1,000 as an incentive for each cow that is sacrificed here," said Mayor Atiqul Islam while visiting the sacrificial animal market in Mohammadpur's Bosila in the capital on Saturday (15 June).
The mayor expects that at least 500 sacrificial cows will be brought to the field adjacent to Paris Road of DNCC.
