Bangladesh: Fishermen Set to Resume Hilsa Fishing as Ban Ends at Midnight

Fishermen are preparing to resume hilsa fishing at midnight, as the 22-day ban, which began on October 13, on catching, selling, and transporting the fish comes to an end.

Several fishermen have expressed frustration over illegal fishing activities in neighboring districts, which have made it difficult to find hilsa, even after the ban lifts.

Additionally, many fishermen have voiced dissatisfaction with the government’s food assistance during the ban, citing rising costs and the struggle to support their families, particularly when it comes to covering their children’s education expenses.
