Traditional canal dak was held in a festive atmosphere on Saturday morning at the premises of Dakshin Kaichail Madrasa of Kaichail Union of Nagarkanda Upazila of Faridpur. Traditional canal dak. This canal, known locally, is about 1 kilometer long, which fills with water during the monsoon season and naturally produces a lot of fish.

Like every year, this year too, the ownership of the canal's fishing was transferred through an advance auction. More than 6 local fish traders participated in the auction that started at 8 am. At one stage of competitive bidding, the auction was finalized in favor of Lal Chan Mia, who offered the highest price. As per the rules, the authorities announced the name of the highest bidder three times and confirmed the ownership of the canal dak for 2025.

The money received from the canal call will be deposited in the Madrasa-Mosque Fund to meet the expenses of the Southern Kaichail Madrasa and Mosque, like every year. Locals said that this canal call is not only for the fish business; rather, it has become a tradition as one of the sources of support for social and religious institutions.

Locals believe that by preserving this naturally fish-rich canal and organizing regular canal calls, it is not only meeting the expenses of the Madrasa and Mosque, but also playing a positive role in the local economy.
