Many people are not able to prepare to return to the river during the ban, but they are struggling to cope with the pressure of the family and debts during the ban during the ban.
According to local fishermen, even though fishing has stopped, the cost of the family and debts have not stopped. To return to the river after the ban, many people are forced to take money from moneylenders and money lords.
Md. Rahim Majhi, a fisherman in Shashiganj area on the banks of the Meghna, said that the government is not going to pay the rice that is due to the ban. It is not necessary to borrow money from the moneylender or take money from the moneylender. Before going down to the river, we have to spend thousands of rupees on the net and the boat, but we have no capital to pay the money of the moneylenders and pay the interest of the moneylenders.

Out of which 4 people were sent to the jail and the remaining 39 people were sent to jail. 1 boat was seized and the seized boat was burnt in public in the sluice gate area of the upazila of 160,000 meters of net used for fishing.
Shafiq Majhi, a fisherman at Choumuhani Fish Ghat, said, "We are at risk of life in the river for years, our lives are in danger. But the list has entered the names of many people who have never seen the river in their life or are involved with other professions. The fishermen are deprived of the government's help in the name of the real fishermen. If the administration had fixed this list, then the real fishermen like ours could have lived a little in peace."
In this case, the upazila fisheries officer Amir Hossain said that many people outside the jail or other professions have been registered. The government order has been taken to update the list and the decision has been taken on October 6.

Otherwise, it is difficult for them to return the normal livelihood in the case of the debt.
