On July 6, the Border Security Force (BSF) informed about the surge in cattle smuggling to Bangladesh due to the forthcoming Eid-ul Azha or the Qurbani Eid on July 31. The press release elaborated on the various techniques adopted by the smugglers for transporting the cattle. It also detailed the various cruelties inflicted by smugglers on the animals and warned that the consumption of such meat might be injurious to human health. Further, it flagged concerns about unemployed poor youths being lured into this network for meagre amounts of money. These youth face all the risk while kingpins of the racket earn billions of rupees while sitting in their safe havens.
