It comes as a follow-up to the general meeting with public leaders, NGOs, GBs, Ex. PRIs of Aalo, Kamba and Darak conducted under the supervision of District Administration at Gumin Kiin. The meeting unanimously decided to make a blanket ban on all kinds of fishing activities using gill netting, fishing nets, explosives, chemical, arrow shooting and electrocution etc. during breeding season for a period of three years from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023.
