The so-called "sailing season" between November and April, when seas are calmer, typically sees a surge in departure attempts. Despite coordinated patrols and occasional crackdowns by Bangladeshi authorities aimed at preventing such dangerous voyages, the smuggling networks remain resilient, adapting their routes and methods.
