Jatka fishing goes freely within the Meghna and Tentulia rivers of Bhola. Those jatkas stuck by way of fishermen are being offered brazenly in fish wharfs and markets. The fisheries division is in large part inactive on this regard. There’s a risk of hilsa disaster within the river.
It’s been discovered that fishermen have hunted hilsa in teams in Tulatuli of Dhaniya in Bhola Sadar Upazila, Bholar Canal in Shibpur, Meghna in Ilisha Junction and Tentulia River in Veduriya and Velumia. Lots of the fishermen are catching fish with unlawful present and behundi nets. Jatkas are shooting up in those unlawful nets.
Shajahan Majhi, fisherman of Tulatuli house of Dhaniya Union, stated that he went to Meghna river with 5 fishermen. Gained 32 Jatkas. Later he took them to the ghat and offered them for 2 thousand rupees.

Sabuj Majhi stated that he and two others went to the Meghna river and were given 40 jatkas. He offered them for 2 and a part thousand rupees.
Yusuf Majhi and Miraj Majhi, fishermen of Tentulia river in Veduria house, stated, ‘A number of hali jatkas had been stuck one at a time. If you happen to get 20 jatkas, you’ll be able to get 500-700 grams of hilsa. Promoting Jatka on the Ghat does now not fetch a lot worth. What do you continue to do? We need to run the circle of relatives and pay the installments of the NGO. So pass to the river and produce no matter you’ll be able to get.’
Malek Majhi and Aktar Majhi are fishermen of Bholar canal house. They stated, ‘We all know that catching jatka is against the law, however what must we do? Hilsa of huge dimension isn’t stuck within the river. So I run some more or less circle of relatives with jatka and pay the money owed.’
However there also are some aware fishermen who aren’t looking Jatka. Monir Hossain Majhi and Ibrahim Majhi, fishermen of Dhaniya Tulatuli house, stated, ‘At the moment, a few of our brothers are looking jatka with unlawful nets in all upazilas of Bhola. We’re nervous about discovering giant fish within the river at some point. The usage of unlawful nets within the river must be stopped.

Those jatkas stuck from the river are being offered thru public auctions at quite a lot of fishing ghats in seven upazilas of the district, together with Shivpur’s Bholar Canal, Ilisha Junction, Tulatuli, Nashir Majhi, Rajapur, Veduria, Velumia.
Kamal Bepari and Md. Alauddin stated to Jago Information, ‘Hilsha of huge dimension isn’t stuck within the nets of fishermen within the river. So the fishermen hunted jatka and taken it to the ghat. We do not need to promote at public sale at Jatka Ghat. However now, excluding Jatka, now not a lot giant hilsa is being stuck. So we need to promote Jatka to maintain the ban regardless of the ban.’

Alternatively, Bhola District Fisheries Officer Biswajit Kumar Dev claimed that the Fisheries Division is carrying out common operations.
He stated that this 12 months, because of the huge choice of eggs launched by way of mom hilsa, the volume of jatka within the river is prime. Due to this fact, the volume of jatka stuck within the fishermen’s nets could also be prime. Alternatively, operations are underway to prevent the usage of unlawful nets and Jatka poaching.
