Import cattle from India
Bangladesh is surrounded by the seven sister states of India except in the South. The country needs a large number of cattle but do not import it from India. It is true that thousands of cattle are smuggled from India into Bangladesh regularly. Border Security Force (BSF) of India kills cattle traders on a regular fashion, which is not acceptable. Bangladesh and India are neighbours and friendly countries. Bangladesh import many things from India. If Bangladesh imports cattle from the seven sister states of India, cattle smuggling would stop. Indian cattle growers in the seven sister states will get good price and Bangladesh will be able to meet its local demand. Border killings would also stop and this will strengthen the relation between the two neighbours. In this circumstance, I would like to urge the governments of Bangladesh and India to sign a deal for importing cattle from India to Bangladesh as soon as possible.
