Dr. Anisur Rahman said, ‘Hilsa season is coming up (August, September and October). This time the hilsa will be delicious. Because we have tested the water of the river and this time the pollution of the river water has decreased due to the long lockdown due to the corona. That is why other fish including hilsa have been able to roam effortlessly, without fear.’
He also said, “The condition of the river is very congenial for fish food, so this time the hilsa will be more delicious and more palatable.” Even though the import of hilsa has increased at the biggest fish ghat in Chandpur and the fish ghat at the big railway station, the retail price in the city and sub-urban hat bazars is not decreasing.
