Dhaka South City Corporation on Thursday opened the tender box for 10 makeshift cattle markets in the city ahead of the holy Eid-ul-Azha.
Chief Estate Officer of the DSCC Khalid Ahmed opened the tender box at Nagar Bhaban Auditorium in presence of bidders.
The highest bid of Tk21.1m, which is Tk22.7m less than last year’s bid, was proposed for Armanitola playground at Nayabazar. Moreover, price of Moradia Bazar of Khilgaon had also decreased Tk1.7m. As a result, the DSCC authorities announced invitation for re-tender to these two grounds.
Ninety five bidders have submitted their proposals to secure leases of the 10 markets.
The DSCC officials said no one would be allowed to set up cattle markets on roads and the DSCC would take actions if any such market was found.
