Original review summary

The review reports that electricity data showed India had neither stopped supplying Bangladesh nor drastically reduced its supply. It says Bangladesh had banned Hilsa exports to India, so the post’s combined claim was misleading.[S1]

Additional context

The review’s 23 September 2024 update says Bangladesh’s interim government had revised its earlier decision and would export 3,000 tonnes of Hilsa to India for the upcoming Durga Puja. [S1]
