The Bangladesh Navy has deployed 17 warships across nine coastal and riverine districts to enforce a 22-day ban on hilsa fishing from Oct. 4 to 25. The Inter-Services Public Relations announced on Saturday that authorities will take strict action against anyone catching, transporting, or marketing the fish. All activities related to hilsa, such as storing, buying, selling, and exchanging, are prohibited, and fishing in marine areas for all species has been banned.

Naval vessels are conducting the Mother Hilsa Conservation Campaign-2025 under the In Aid of Civil Power mandate. Ships patrol maritime zones, coastal regions, and inland waterways while aircraft maintain continuous surveillance to prevent intrusion by domestic and foreign trawlers. The Navy coordinates with local administration, Coast Guard, Naval Police, and fisheries authorities to stop illegal fishing and protect breeding areas while conducting awareness campaigns and legal enforcement.
