According to Komarpant, the use of LED lights for fishing is leading to a sharp decline in fish catch for local fishermen, making it increasingly difficult for them to sustain their income.
He called for immediate intervention by authorities to curb the illegal activity and protect the interests of the traditional fishing community in the region.
