Studies cited by SANDRP and the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI) show that hilsa landings upstream of Farakka have fallen by up to 92 percent, effectively wiping out the upstream fishery in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Fisherfolk livelihoods have collapsed, while downstream Bangladesh continues to protest the barrage’s role in altering flows, increasing floods upstream, and accelerating bank erosion in West Bengal. https://www.counterview.net/2025/11/from-hilsa-to-mahaseer-how-dams-are.html
