U.S. firm backed at fishers’ cost: Chennithala
The Hindu
Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on Sunday said the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government had put the livelihood of the large coastal community on the line by manoeuvring behind the scenes to permit a U.S. deep-sea trawling conglomerate to harvest marine wealth off the coast of Kerala.
Mr. Chennithala, who is on his Aishwarya Kerala Yatra’s final leg, ‘let out’ the firm’s agreement with the government to modernise the State’s marine fishing industry. He waved two ‘memoranda of understanding’ between the firm and the government.
