A member of the Paaramparik Machhimar Bachao Kruti Samiti, while speaking to a media house said that the JNPT deputy chairman also spoke to the agitators and assured them that a solution would be found in connection with their problem. A high-level meeting in regards to the matter has also been scheduled for next Thursday.
However, he further said that the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister had given orders after the last protests were staged but JNPT did not take any actions at all. It was also said the agitators are only demanding what the government had earlier decided to allot to them - which was a 17 acre land for the 256 dispatched families.
