Cheers before Durga puja: Bangladesh to send 3k tonnes of hilsa to India

Kolkata fish traders will receive 3,000 tonnes of prized hilsa from Bangladesh just before Durga Puja. The Muhammad Yunus-led interim government approved the export following persistent requests despite previous political challenges. This move highlights the cultural and diplomatic significance of hilsa between Bangladesh and India. Actual exports might be around 1,500 tonnes based on past trends.
