Sub: Illegal purse seine fishing in Zuari

Madam/Sir,

This is to bring to your attention that around 20 cannoes carried on illegal fishing in Zuari river at a riverfront stretch from Dona Paula to Odxel. They were noticed and reported to the Fisheries Control Room between 8.00 am to 8.30 am om 15th September 2024.

This is complete collapse of law and order as well as Fisheries administration in the State of Goa.

You are requested to take immidiate preventive steps to ensure that such things are repeated in future.

We will also report this to the Goa Bench of Bombay High Court in WP 2844/23 as violation of the Court directive.

Thanking You,

Yours sincerely,
