Why don't we listen?
Kausar Islam Ayon's article "Jatka ban effective on papers only" - covered all the aspects to paint a grim picture of destruction. Most importantly, he mentioned that the plan to increase the production of hilsha also includes awareness campaign on radio, television and newspapers, holding of rallies at district and upazila levels and providing alternative employment to affected fishermen in 18 jatka-rich districts. So why don't we listen?
I have also learned from a lot of people that Jatka is not exactly a culinary delight. And that it is also possible to find other fish rich diet within the price range of Jakta.
So it seems we are really indifferent to the future of fisheries in this country.
