মা ইলিশ রক্ষায় কোস্ট গার্ডের অভিযান, জেলেদের সচেতনতায় মাইকিং

Bangladesh Coast Guard's East Zone is conducting regular patrols, special operations and public awareness campaigns to protect mother hilsa fish during a nationwide 22-day fishing ban running from October 8 to October 29, according to a press release from Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujon, reported on Monday, October 26. The ban prohibits catching, transporting, storing, marketing, buying and selling hilsa. The force has increased intelligence surveillance and round-the-clock patrols along rivers and coastal waters, and is using loudspeaker announcements, leaflets and meetings to urge fishermen to comply. It is coordinating with district administrations, the Department of Fisheries and other agencies, and says legal action is being taken against violators. The public is asked to report violations to the emergency number 16111.

Where accounts differ. Bangladesh Post describes the campaign as part of a 'Mother Hilsa Conservation-2026' initiative and frames it around the blue economy, while Jugantor, Protidiner Sangbad, Banglanews24.com and Dainik Azadi report the same measures without that framing.
