A 22-day ban on fishing in Patuakhali, which began on October 13, has created an acute crisis among local fishermen. The ban will continue until November 3, leaving fishermen in dire economic straits as they are unable to catch fish.

Meanwhile, allegations of Indian fishermen illegally entering Bangladesh's waters to catch fish have raised anger and apprehension among local fishermen. Kabir Hossain, a fisherman from Mohipur area, said, "We are following the government's instructions, and they are taking our fish away."

Raju Ahmed Raja, general secretary of Mahipur Artadar Malik Samiti, said that while the ban is important for fish breeding and conservation, swift action is needed to stop illegal infiltration by Indian fishermen.

Fishermen fear that if this situation continues, they will fail to catch enough fish after the ban, which will lead to long-term losses. They therefore demanded the government to take swift action to stop the infiltration of Indian fishermen and secure their livelihood.

Kawsar Alam Arman, a student of Jahangirnagar University (JU) and coordinator of JU branch in the July uprising, was attacked by Chhatra League leaders and activists in his own area of Kishoreganj. Protesting the incident and demanding speedy trial of the culprits, the students of the University staged a protest march. He is a student of the plant science department of the University in the 2019-20 session.

On Wednesday (October 16) at 9:00 pm, the torch procession started from the front of Mahua Manch of the University, followed by Shaheed Minar and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall and ended with a short rally at Battala.

Speakers moderated by Zahidul Islam Emon, a student of plant science department, protested the attack of Chhatra League. Besides, he called Chhatra League as a terrorist organization against student uprising and demanded to be banned.

Abdul Hai Swapan, a student of mathematics, said that if the attackers are not identified and arrested within 24 hours, the Awami-Chhatra League terrorists are still walking around with puffed chests. No steps are being taken to bring them to justice. As a result today a brutal attack on one of our comrades took place. If the attackers are not identified and arrested within the next 24 hours, we will block the Dhaka-Aricha highway.

Zahidul Islam, a student of the government and politics department, said that Arman was persecuted during the movement. After the movement was successful, he was once again subjected to torture by the Chhatra League. Apart from Arman, such incidents are happening repeatedly in different parts of the country. After the uprising, many of the perpetrators of the murders fled to the cantonment. They are being resettled in different places. But our brothers are still being persecuted. I am clearly informing the interim government that if you don't prosecute these things, it amounts to fraud. Arman's attackers must be prosecuted immediately.

In the closing speech, Abdur Rashid Jitu, a student of the Institute of Comparative Literature and Culture, said, "We, the students united, defeated the Awami League from the country. But today we fear for our lives. In different parts of the country, the friends of fascism are walking with puffed chests. These terrorists should be brought to justice quickly.
