Kamal asks Sindh government to ease fishermen’s plight
July 9, 2021
Pak Sarzameen Party Chairman Syed Mustafa Kamal has demanded of the Sindh government to take back the powers assigned to the Maritime Security Agency to alleviate the plight of two million families associated with the fishing sector.
“The Sindh government has handed over the process of identification of fishermen, including the checking of fishing permits, nets and life jackets, to the Maritime Security Agency,” he said while talking to a delegation of fishermen led by Vice-Chairman Fishermen Corporative Society Haji Ali Kachhi at the party’s secretariat on Thursday.
The delegation included fishermen leaders from various coastal areas, including Baba Bhatt Island, Salehabad and Manora. “On the one hand, it is affecting the reputation of the Maritime Security Agency, and on the other hand it has created rifts between millions of poor fishing families and the security agency,” Kamal said.
