A Supreme Court lawyer today served a legal notice to the government asking it to take necessary measures to stop the export of hilsa fish to India in three days

The government has approved conditional export of 3,000 tonnes of hilsa to India citing the upcoming Durga Puja.

Bangladesh will not export hilsa fish to India on the occasion of Durga Puja in October, according to a top commerce ministry official, discontinuing a long-standing tradition of the country as a “goodwill gesture” to its neighbour.
