“India has stopped supplying electricity to Bangladesh and in retaliation, Bangladesh has banned the export of Hilsa fish to India.”
What FACTLY found
According to data available on the Indian National Load Dispatch Centre (GRID-INDIA) website and the Power Grid Bangladesh website, which manage power transmission in their respective countries, India has neither stopped its electricity supply to Bangladesh nor drastically reduced it recently. On the other hand, recent reports indicate that Bangladesh has banned the export of Hilsa fish to India.
