Advisor Farida Akhtar has stressed the importance of maintaining Hilsa fish prices within the purchasing power of the general public, ensuring that there is no abnormal price hike. She believes that instead of merely setting price limits, it is crucial to identify the root causes of price increases for effective intervention. The government is actively conducting regular operations and strict measures to protect Hilsa and juvenile fish (jatka), including destroying illegal nets and enforcing punitive actions against fishermen violating regulations. Farida also highlighted the pressing issue of river navigability crisis, which hampers the movement and breeding of Hilsa, calling for urgent attention and comprehensive consideration.
