Illegal Hilsa catching continues
An SMS was frequently being sent by the government instructing people to refrain from catching Hilsa during the fish's peak breeding time between October 13 and 23. It was indeed a good initiative from the authorities to create mass awareness. The gradual decline of this fish over the recent years is unsettling. But still we are reading in the newspapers that catching of Hilsa is continuing illegally by many fishermen (sometimes with the help of some corrupt government officials in exchange for bribe). We want stern government action to stop this illegal practice.
