Poultry industry stocks gained sharply on the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) yesterday with the Cabinet of Ministers deciding to ban cattle slaughter in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, the main All Share Price Index yesterday closed at 5993.55, below the 600-point mark achieved on Monday as a result of price losses in illiquid shares such as Carson Cumberbatch and Bukit Darah, which were propped up on Monday.
