(Representative image)ALAPPUZHA: Dheevara Sabha will organize a one-day satyagraha in front of the secretariat on February 13 alleging that the state government was turning a blind eye towards the issues raised by the Sabha and fishermen community in the state.
Dheevara Sabha state general secretary V Dinakaran said on Tuesday that the state government is turning its back on the issues faced by the fishermen community in Kerala. “So, we have decided to stage a satyagraha from 10am to 1pm in front of the secretariat,” he said.
According to the Sabha, the state budget did not give any consideration to the fishermen community. “The fisheries department and the state government are ignoring the demands of the Sabha. It should end,’’ Sabha leaders said.
“The state government is ignoring the demands of fishermen such as curbs on mineral sand mining, utilization of sand of Thanneermukkom bund, finding solution for sea erosion and rehabilitation of fishermen. This neglect forced us to start the agitation against the government,’’ he said.
