Goa Fisheries Department needs full-time Director!

09/06/2025

To,

Hon'ble Chief Minister,

Government of Goa

Porvorim, Goa

Subject: Call for appointment of full-time Director of Fisheries

Respected Sir,

We are experiencing tremendous hardships over the past some months. Simple files of individual fishers are witnessing delays of around 04 to 05 months. 

We are given to understand that this delay is due to additional responsibilities and charges given to the current Director of Fisheries Ms. B. Yashaswini IAS.

Matters have worsened from May 04, 2025 when Fisheries Director was given additional charge as Collector of North Goa District after Sirgaon stampede.

We therefore request you to ensure that Directorate of Fisheries in Panjim gets full-time Director who is competent and can communicate fluently with fishers in Konkani.

Kindly treat this letter as urgent and act on priority. 

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely, 

Shaila D'mello

President

Laximan Mangueshkar

Secretary
