Ban on hilsa fishing ends

The country’s fishermen are set to resume hilsa fishing across the country as the 22-day ban on catching, selling, and transporting the national fish ended Sunday at midnight.

According to the reports from different coastal areas of the country, fishermen are now busy preparing nets and boats to go to rivers to catch hilsa.

Earlier from October 12 to November 2, the interim government imposed a ban on the catching, selling, hoarding, and transporting of hilsa, one of the most delicious fishes of the country’s people.

The authorities concerned imposed the ban on the Padma-Meghna sanctuary to ensure the safe spawning of the national fish of Bangladesh during its peak breeding period.
