Gauhati High Court Bans Traditional Magh Bihu Fishing in Kaziranga Wetlands

The Gauhati High Court has ordered a ban on traditional community fishing in the wetlands of Kaziranga National Park during Magh Bihu.

This is to protect the fish breeding grounds, which are important for the entire state.

The park authorities met with local officials and residents to explain the ban and discuss how to implement it.

The Assam government is also making sure fish prices are controlled during the festival to help people.

The ban is strictly within the park and its wetlands, and the authorities will spread awareness about wildlife protection in the next few days.
