Hilsa fishing resumed at midnight after a two-month ban on catching and selling of the national fish ended.
Fishermen of different districts went to rivers for catching hilsa.

According to the Fisheries and Livestock Ministry, this year the production of Hilsa will be increased due to the timely initiative of the authorities concerned to protect jatka.
The 2-month ban continued from March 1 to April 30 covering five hilsa sanctuaries in six districts including Barishal, Chandpur, Laxmipur, Bhola, Shariatpur and Patuakhali in a bid to increse the production of hilsa, according to the Fisheries and Livestock Ministry.

The sanctuaries are 100km area of the lower basin of the River Meghna - from Shatnal of Chandpur to Char Alexander of Lakhsmipur; 90km area of Shahbazpur tributary of the River Meghna - from Modonpur/Char Ilsha to Char Pial of Bhola district; about a 100km area of the River Tentulia - from Bheduria of Bhola to Char Rustam of Patuakhali; 20km area of the River Padma - located between Naria and Vedharganj upazilas of Shariatpur and Matlab upazila of Chandpur; and about 82km area of rivers Kalabadar, Gazaria and Meghna flowing through Hijla, Mehendiganj and Barishal Sadar upazilas of Barishal.

This year, registered fishermen from the six districts of the five sanctuaries were provided 80kgs of rice per VGF card for two months to compensate for the fishing ban, said the ministry.
