Did you know that the petitioners called for the constitution of a new committee to study the situation. Till such time, the recommendations and orders should be frozen,according to the petitioners demand.It's good to see the people finally standing up for themselves.

The report by Dr. Meenakumari and the orders from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying negated the right of the coastal States,according to the petitioners. While i can't comment on the issue, i guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

The petitioners said that the recommendations of a technical committee, imposing ban on all fishing vessels during monsoon, should be discarded. “The common feeling is that the report does not reflect the causes and ambitions of the poor fisher folk of India,” the petition said.

Let me add that the petition appealed to the ministry to withdraw the B. Meenakumari Committee report on deep-sea fishing. They also sought the withdrawal of a notification of regulations based on the recommendations.

From what i know, a combination of fishermen’s and mass organisations has appealed to the Union Ministry of Agriculture to constitute a new committee comprising traditional fishermen, State government representatives and other stakeholders to study the marine fisheries situation in the country.
