Conflict on right over landing at Kakinada harbour deepens
The Hindu
At least 130 boats are being denied to land at the harbour for allegedly offering the catch at a low price, weakening the market potential.
The conflict between the two mechanised boat operators’ associations has been deepened on the right to landing and marketing at Kakinada harbour in East Godavari district, leading to tension on the marine waters on the Kakinada coast. Two weeks ago, the Kakinada Mechanized Fishing Boat Owners Welfare Association (KMFBOWA) has stopped the entry of boats of their rival association - Sri Bhyravapalem Mechanized Fishing Boat Owners Welfare Association (SBMFBOWA)- from entering the Kakinada harbour. The Kakinada harbour is the only anchoring and marketing facility for the 590 registered mechanised boats in operation on the Kakinada coast.More Related News
