REGISTERING WITH THE FISHERIES DEPARTMENT I was shocked to read orders issued with immediate effect without consultation with those concerned! Fees per year for Fish Traders Rs2 Lakh and security deposit of Rs 20,000/-.using two wheeler Rs500/-, four wheeler Rs5,000/-. With Corona and great difficulty in carrying on the fish business, they having to pay SOPO and other agents too, the people are the ultimate sufferers and we will not be able to afford the little we are managing now! Does this government know anything at ground level about labor or care for the people before issuing orders? For example my house worker's husband goes early to the jetty around 4.30 AM to procure fish for family and sale on his two wheeler to make ends meet. Yes the governent has to care for the least of my bretheren! Petrol prices are increasing everyday! Being honest, he hardly makes much money selling the fish. It is reported that most of the fish vendors know nothing about this development. Is the CM in charge of "pumping in revenue" into government coffers at the dire cost of the people instead of helping them in their great hour of need?!
