The frenzy around Durgotsava, the main Bengali festival, has started to mount. 

In the meantime  Hilsa of Padma has come to the market of Tripura to satisfy the taste buds of Bengalis. 

Essentially, festive food is not complete without hilsa in the Bengali plate. And if it is Padma Hilsa then it is difficult to find the language to express feelings. 

In this regard, importer Bimal Roy said, for now, permission has been received to import 3 thousand metric tons of hilsa fish from Bangladesh in Tripura. 

On Thursday, only 7 metric tons of fish will arrive in the state on the first day. 

More Hilsa fish will come to the state in next few days. 

But, according to the Akhaura check post sources, 2.5 metric tons of fish have arrived.

He also said that the demand for hilsa is also high at this time. Fish has been purchased for more than $1 per kg, he said. 

As a result, the price of Padma hilsa has gone up, so there is a possibility of selling it at a higher price in the market at the time of Durga Puja festival season.
