If the rivers, canals and water bodies of this region can be properly utilized, it is possible to transform Khulna-4 constituency into one of the country’s major fish production centers.

The fishing industry is a major driving force of our economy.” This industry cannot be neglected or allowed to be destroyed in any way. The fishing industry must be rescued from the hands of unscrupulous traders and production must be increased manifold. We must move towards quality fish production by increasing the use of modern technology.
