Fisheries Department denies knowledge of pact between KSINC and US firm
Fishers’ unions have slammed reports that the Kerala State Inland Navigation Corporation (KSINC) is building 400 trawlers for a US-based company, even as the Fisheries Department categorically denied any knowledge of an MoU between the two entities for the trawler project.
Both Matsya Thozhilali Aikya Vedhi and Swathanthra Matsya Thozhilali Federation, representing traditional fishers, said the widely reported development was an indication of the invasion of the fishing sector by big capital. “It is totally against the policies of the State government and will seriously impact the current equilibrium in the sector,” said Charles George of Aikya Vedhi.
