SANGSAD BHABAN, Feb 19, 2019 (BSS) – The government has taken a plan to set up
designated slaughtering spots at every city corporation and municipality
across the country.

“The government has taken a plan to set up designated slaughtering spots at
every city corporation and municipality gradually,” Local Government, Rural
Development and Cooperatives Minister Md Tajul Islam said while responding to
a starred question placed by lawmaker Mohammad Shahidul Islam of Laxmipur-2 in
the parliament with Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.

He said there are now two designated slaughtering spots in Dhaka South City
Corporation (DSCC) while three spots in Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC).

Tajul said Narayanganj City Corporation is conducting a feasibility study to
set up three designated slaughtering spots in its area. After completing the
study, he said, a detailed project proposal will be formulated.

An initiative has already been taken to set up a modern designated
slaughtering spot in Khulna City Corporation (KCC) under a project of the
Fisheries and Livestock Ministry.
