MARGAO, JUNE 29
Fisheries Minister Joaquim Alemao has admitted that the government is acquiring land near the Cutbona fishing jetty to set up a fish meal plant.
In a candid admission, Alemao said a fish meal plant is a dire necessity to curb pollution of the River Sal as tons of fish is thrown into the waters every year for want of a fish meal plant.
Saying that the government has proposed the fish meal plant at Cutbona bowing to the demands of the fishermen, Alemao charged a group of persons from Betul – who are involved in supply fish to a fish meal plant across the borders – for instigating the villagers against the fish meal plant.
Allaying fears of the villagers that the plant would result in pollution, Alemao said the plant will be set up with the state-of-the-art technology to take care of pollution, if any.
