DHAKA, Oct 26, 2025 (BSS) - The River Police conducted a 22-day "Mother Hilsa Conservation Campaign 2025" from October 4-25 to enforce the government ban on catching, transporting, or selling Hilsa during the breeding season. 

"The drive aims to boost Hilsa reproduction and ensure sustainable fisheries," said a River Police press release.
