Villagers in Sundarbans are eating expensive hilsa fish in breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Read why
Sundarbans are relishing a bounty of hilsa fish, Bengal's favorite delicacy, consuming it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The local fishermen have netted large quantities of hilsa, but of a size that cannot be legally sold in Kolkata markets due to rules prohibiting the sale of 'khoka ilish' or juvenile hilsa. As a result, this abundant catch is being sold at low prices near the rivers and the Bay of Bengal coastline in the Sundarbans region.

Senate passes defense bill with bipartisan support, but clash looms with House over social issues
Senate has passed a massive annual defense bill that would deliver a 5.2% pay raise for service members and keep the nation's military operating, avoiding partisan policy battles with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote. Senate passage, 86-11, sets up a clash with the House, which passed its own version of the annual defense bill along party lines earlier this month after pointed debates over social issues like abortion access and diversity initiatives. The sharply partisan arguments over the House legislation veered from a bipartisan tradition of finding consensus on national defense policy.
