NILPHAMARI, Nov 14: The raw hide traders of the northern region urged the government to curtail the absolute domination by the non-bonafide hide and skin traders and to introduce license or identity cards for the traders to get rid of undue problems arising out of this for years.
They also called for bank loan facilities from the government for small raw hide traders in the region. They said they are unable to preserve their collected hides and skins due to high price of salt, which is essential for preservation.
Sources said in the ensuing Eid-ul-Azha the agents of Indian business syndicate allegedly would try to cash in on the opportunity while purchasing the raw hides. As it is a routine phenomenon, it is feared that the agents would smuggle raw hides to India after buying at a cheap price.
Concerned sources requested the administration to take steps to check the bid.
