Race against the Hilsa fishing restriction

A 22-day government ban on catching, transporting, storing, and selling Hilsa fish goes into effect across Bangladesh starting tonight, aimed at ensuring the safe breeding of mother Hilsa. This restriction will remain in force until October 29. 

The photos, capturing the frantic last-minute hustle and bustle at the New Fishery Ghat, were taken at noon.
