"If registration is given to these boats, which do overfishing, it will ruin the fisheries. This will, in turn, adversely affect the livelihood of lakhs of fishermen in the state," the office-bearers of the Federation said in a statement issued here on Friday. "There is also a Supreme Court order against the Persian boats," they pointed out. Federation state president P P John, National Fish Workers' Forum secretary T Peter, along with other leaders of the community, submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister, the Fisheries Minister, Fisheries Secretary and Fisheries Director against the alleged move. They also warned of strong agitation if registration was given to the boats -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
