Subject: Protest against Vadanta
Sesa Goa Mining company
Dear Sir,
It has
come to our notice that Vendanta Sesa Goa mining company is involved in filing
various complaints with fisheries department against fishermen carrying on
fishing activities in Zuari river citing various reasons. We write to lodge our
strong protest against Vedanta Sesa Goa mining company for harassing fishermen.
Mining companies are outstanding destroyers of nature, ecology and environment
and now Vendant, a company registered at London Stock exchange is all out to
trouble fishermen in Zuari river. Fishing is birthright of fishermen and
Vedanta has no right to disrupt our fishing. Vedanta must know very well that
mining in Goa is mere plunder. The best proof is from Central government
appointed Justice Shah Commission report.
Let
Vedanta not interfere with our fishing activities which we and before us our
ancestors have been carrying on since time immemorial even then there was
mining barges in operation.
Thanking
you,
Yours
Sincerely,
