Govt to amend fisheries policy
The government has taken initiatives to amend the existing fisheries policy for making the water bodies suitable for fish production. Chief Adviser's Special Assistant for Livestock and Fishery Resources Ministry Manik Lal Samaddar said this at a view exchange meeting with a delegation of Jatiya Matshyajibi Samity at his ministry yesterday. The delegation said various species of fish are on the verge of extinction, as the existing policy is not favourable for the expansion of fish resources. They urged the government to lease out jalmahals to genuine fishermen.
