Objections to CM's Advocacy For Marina at Nauxim

AGSSRFU objects to Goa CM advocacy for Marina at Nauxim

All Goa Small Scale Responsible Fisheries Union (AGSSRFU) strongly objects to Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's latest statement advocating the cause of Marina at Nauxim that is detrimental to the fishing communities of Zuari river.  

His repeated advocacy for Nauxim Marina projects him as am unofficial PRO of Kargwal Constructions Private Limited even though he is official CM of Goa. Dr. Sawant's latest claims that Marina will create jobs for Goans is another such misleading information that hides the fact about hundreds of people and families engaged in fishing at Zuari river will be expelled from the waters. CM must study EIA report of Nauxim Marina that has noted that Marina will have Long term irreversible negative impact on Fisheries.

AGSSRFU calls upon Goa Chief Minister to stop advocacy for Nauxim Marina, get the Marina lease deed canceled and create security of tenure for fishing in Zuari and all other waters in Goa. This will be much better appreciable engagement for the Goa Chief Minister on Nauxim Marina rather than his current empty rantings.
