If you can stop killing these fish, even after meeting the demand of fish in the area, it can be exported to different parts of the country. Upazila Executive Officer (Acting) Tasmia Akter Rosy said, strict messages have been given to the local residents and fishermen to prevent them from fishing, so that they do not use nets prohibited in the bill. Besides, to increase the production of fish, an initiative has been taken by the government to release carp in open water bodies.

Upazila Fisheries Officer Nazmul Huda (current duty) said that 80 prohibited Chinese nets were burnt by conducting three mobile courts in the last one week to implement the Fisheries Act.
