Dhaka's two city corporations will have a total of 22 cattle markets ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival for Muslims scheduled for 17 June.
The sale of sacrificial animals will begin from Thursday onwards.
Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) has fixed 11 locations for cattle markets while Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) arranged nine locations.
Gabtoli Haat is the largest permanent market under DNCC while Sarulia Haat is permanent market under DSCC.
Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh held a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
The corporation officials and the lessees of the temporary and permanent livestock markets were present at the meet.
Taposh said the sacrificial animal markets are ready to start sales from Thursday.
He also informed that the corporation staff is prepared for waste management in the markets.
Digital transactions will be used for payments, said DNCC Mayor Atiqul Islam, adding that health check-ups of the animals brought to the markets will be ensured.
