A Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) mobile court has sealed off three factories for making fish and poultry feed from tannery waste.
The factories at Dhaka’s Demra area have also been slapped with a fine of Tk 3.2 million after a raid on Saturday (Jun 29).
“Sixteen people have been given jail terms for using tannery waste to make fish and poultry feed,” RAB Headquarters Executive Magistrate Md Sarwar Alam told Bangla Tribune.
He added that 6,000 tonne of poisonous feed has been seized from these three factories.
