AMMKS demands legal action after fishermen go missing during monsoon fishing ban
Mumbai: The Akhil Maharashtra Machchimar Kruti Samiti (AMMKS) has demanded that a case of culpable homicide be filed against Uran MLA Mahesh Baldi, officials from the Raigad Fisheries Commissioner's office, and board members of Karanja Fishermen's cooperative societies. This demand follows Saturday's incident in which three out of eight fishermen went missing. The fishermen went out fishing in the sea despite a ban on fishing during the monsoon season. On Saturday, the fishing boat Tuljai from Karanja sank, and three out of eight fishermen are missing. "During the monsoon fishing ban period, large-scale illegal fishing is ongoing, and Karanja is the only village in Alibaug taluka that is stealing fish. This situation has arisen today because these thief fishermen have the patronage of local MLA Mahesh Baldi. Due to illegal fishing, fish stocks are declining, and small fish are being slaughtered by capitalists from Karanja village. As the rate of boats sinking in rough seas has started increasing, the loss of life of fishermen on boats cannot be avoided," said Devendra Tandel, President of AMMKS. The AMMKS has submitted a written representation to the Indian Navy's Coastal Complaint Division, demanding that sedition charges be filed against Baldi. A demand to cancel Baldi's MLA position will soon be made to the CM, said Tandel You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai
