The Jalangi River is almost devoid of fish due to pollution. Casting a net for fish in the river often results in garbage instead of fish. Two or three times a year, polluted chemical water from factories, sugar mills, and rice mills enters the river through various canals and kills fish. The source of this river, which originates from the Padma River, is blocked by human construction. Uncontrolled excavation of the riverside soil reduces the navigability of the Jalangi River and closes the source route of the river. Fish in the river decrease due to hydrocarbons, pesticides from agricultural fields, depletion of dissolved oxygen, plastics, and sewage. Fishing nets are cast in the river, and most times the nets are empty, or occasionally a single fish like Reba carp, Bata fish, or striped snakehead fish is caught in nets in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 1, 2024.
