Livelihood of hundreds of fish farmers in Province-5 at stake

As a result of travel restrictions, farmers in the region say they are unable to transport produce to the market or purchase feed and many of their fish are dying.

Tara Pandey, who has been engaged in fishing for 19 years at Siyari-5, Siddhapur in Rupandehi, had to bear losses for the first time since she started working as a fish farmer. She has not been able to sell fish after mid-March assuredly. Fish have been dying in the pond, and the ones that are alive, she has not been able to take them to the market.
