With only two days in hand, the digital cattle markets in Khulna are getting momentum ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest festival of the Muslim.

The two digital markets ‘Qurbani Hat Khulna’ and ‘KCC online cattle haat’ already have sold at least 650 sacrificial animals in the city till today noon. Among them 345 were sold from ‘Qurbani Hat Khulna’ and 305 were sold from ‘KCC online cattle haat’, reports BSS.

Khulna District Administration in co-operation with the District Livestock office have started the activities of ‘Qurbani Hat Khulna’ through mobile app along with its website (qurbanihatkhulna.com/) from July 14 while the KCC have launched online cattle haat (kcchaat.com/) from July 16 due to Covid-19 outbreak.

On the other hand, the traditional cattle market of Khulna city run by KCC has also started their service online for the second time.

Both of the organizers have plans to extend this service in the future if these digital cattle haats are successful.

With an aim to reduce the number of people coming to buy sacrificial animals during the coronavirus pandemic, these market places were introduced by the initiative of Khulna district administration, Khulna Livestock Department and Khulna City Corporation.
