The fishermen are questioning the reasons behind this prolonged neglect, urging the concerned minister to provide a clear explanation for the non-collection of the corpus fund. The lack of funds could potentially impact the development initiatives and financial stability of the non-motorized fishermen, leading to a growing call for action.
Adding to the concerns, Cacra fishermen are perplexed by what they perceive as selective targeting by the Fisheries Department. The community alleges that only certain small farmers are exempt from contributing to the corpus fund, raising questions about the department’s impartiality in implementing policies.
In response to these grievances, the Cacra fishermen are now demanding that the government addresses the issue in the upcoming assembly session. They seek a platform where the concerns of the fishing community can be discussed, and corrective measures can be proposed and implemented.
