MLA Vijai Sardesai raised concerns in the Goa Assembly over the lack of recognition for fisherman Pele, whose timely actions have saved several lives at sea. Highlighting Pele’s courage and repeated rescue efforts, Sardesai questioned why such real-life heroes continue to be ignored by authorities. He stressed that while fishermen like Pele risk their lives daily to protect others, they rarely receive official appreciation or support. The issue, Sardesai said, reflects a broader failure to acknowledge grassroots contributions made by coastal communities.
