Chandpur: Members of Bangladesh Coastguard in a drive seized about 25,000 meters of contraband ‘current nets’ along with 200 kilograms of jatka from the Meghna River flowing near Chandpur Sadar in the early hours of Saturday, reports UNB.

A team led by Coastguard Station Commander Lt. Shinchon Ahmed in collaboration with Executive Magistrate Ms Abida Sultana and an Upazila Fisheries Officer seized the nets and jatka during an anti-Jatka drive launched Saturday morning in the Meghna River.

Confirming the incident, Station Commander Shinchon said the fish were kept in cold storage for distribution later as per decision adopted in the district coordination meeting recently.
