Chennithala calls for judicial inquiry into deep-sea fishing deal
The Hindu
Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on Saturday said the State government should institute a judicial inquiry into the multi-crore deal between the Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation (KSINC)and a U.S.-based company to build deep-sea fishing trawlers.
The deal was withdrawn because the Opposition had exposed the “cheating of fishers” by the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government in the State, he alleged at a press conference here on Saturday.
