    B 1,000 tonnes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1,200 tonnes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2,000 tonnes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 3,000 tonnes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Bangladesh’s interim government announced a 1,200-tonne hilsa consignment for India timed to Durga Puja. The shipment is priced at $12.5 (₹1,100) per kg, which is below prevailing Indian market rates. The consignment is destined for West Bengal; additional shipments to Assam and Tripura did not materialise due to lack of response. For context, in 2024, Bangladesh sent 3,000 tonnes for the same festival.
