1,450 Metric Ton of 'Hilsa’ Shipment to Reach West Bengal Ahead of Durga Puja
A consignment of 1,450 metric tonnes Bangladeshi Hilsa fish will reach the West Bengal market before Durga Puja. Reportedly, the biggest since 2012, this shipment will lower the prices of the Bangla Hilsa in the local markets from Rs 1500-1800 per kilogram to Rs 800-1200. Earlier, Bangladesh government had banned Hilsa exports in 2012. BSF has also seized around 2,800 Kg smuggled Bangladeshi Hilsa in the last seven months.
