Commercial fishing returns to Rawal Lake
After nearly 14 years, commercial fishing has returned to Rawal Lake this winter.
The move is not without its detractors, with environmentally conscious citizens as well as officials from the relevant agencies opposing commercial fishing on various grounds; possibly because, in some cases, illegal fishing has benefited many individuals.
In addition to containing poaching and illegal fishing, the contract for fishing in Rawal Lake also includes a clause to replenish the fish population.
