Fishermen in the coastal areas in the country started to reap the benefits of a 65-day fishing ban that was lifted last week. They have been returning home with trawlers full of hilsa.
Men who left with their nets and trawlers in the morning were seen returning with a vessel full of Hilsa fish.
Hilsa netted from the Bay of Bengal and different rivers have already flooded the wholesale fish market in the district.
After the ban was lifted, fishermen sailed to the sea and brought in a huge load of hilsa to the market, cheering trawler owners, traders and fishermen.
Fishermen were seen returning to the shore after getting a good catch. They said the catch would be even better if they could spend a week or ten days in the sea.
