The Central government should immediately withdraw from tabling the Indian Marine Fisheries Bill, 2021, in the monsoon session of the Parliament, said fishermen leader association members here on Monday. Participating in the one-day strike, the fishermen hoisted black flags on their boats and stayed off the sea to express their displeasure against the Union government. “It seems that the leaders in New Delhi are not interested in protecting the welfare of the fishermen and this is reflected in the Bill,” they claimed.
