Postogola cattle market comes alive

With Eid-ul-Azha approaching, a temporary cattle market has sprung up at Postogola Shmashan Ghat on the banks of the Buriganga, joining several others across Dhaka. Livestock is arriving from the southern districts, with traders unloading animals and moving them into designated enclosures. Trading will continue from next week until the eve of Eid.
