The Cox’s Bazar district administration has decided to stop livestock from roaming freely on the sea beach and other tourist spots across the district.
From 14 November, the administration will seize and auction cattle found roaming freely on beaches, roads, or tourist spots, and take legal action.
The district administration’s tourism cell announced the decision in a notice issued on Thursday.
According to the notice, livestock in different parts of Cox’s Bazar beach, roads, and tourist areas are damaging the tourism environment and the beauty of the destinations. It is also disrupting tourists’ movement and adversely affecting the environment.
Following complaints, the decision was taken at the latest meeting of the Beach Management Committee.
The administration will conduct awareness campaigns over the next three days, including public announcements with assistance from the district information office, urging livestock owners to keep their animals in designated places.
From 14 November, any livestock found roaming freely on the beach, roads, or tourist areas will be seized, and legal action will be taken against the owners. The animals will subsequently be auctioned with assistance from the district livestock office.
The district administration urged all concerned to cooperate in maintaining Cox’s Bazar’s tourism environment, beauty, and discipline.
