Two trawlers were fishing within 20 meters
of Nauxi-Cacra-Odxel coast in Zuari river. The violations were observed at
09.45 am on Monday 29 December 2014. Fisheries Minister Avartano Furtado was
called on his mobile but he did not receive the call there by disrespecting
struggling people of Zuari coast. sms was sent to him urging him to act. Not
sure what action he initiated.
Director of Fisheries Sharmila Monteiro was also
called up by Rohidas Andrade at 9.50 am. She responded saying that she is
driving and asked Rodhidas to call his after 30 minutes. So much illegality
continued in the meanwhile. After 30 minutes when called she did not receive
Rohidas Andrade’s phone call. Sms text sent to Director of fisheries Sharmila
Monteiro and the Minister of Fisheries Avertano Furtado read “two trawlers in
Zuari river now. Violation of fishing rights. Act now!” This was sent for immediate action. What
action what the Minister and Director initiated is not known.
