Vulture protection: Cabinet clears proposal to ban Ketoprofen
UNB 8th February, 2021 06:28:50
The Cabinet on Monday approved a proposal to stop the production of ‘Ketoprofen’ drug in an effort to save the critically-endangered vultures.
The approval came from the weekly cabinet meeting held at the Secretariat. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina chaired the meeting, joining it virtually from Ganobhaban.
“Some 50,000 vultures had been there in Bangladesh during the 1970s, but its population has alarmingly declined. Now there are only 260 vultures in the country, according to the count of the Environment Ministry,” said Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam while briefing reporters after the meeting.
