Mangalore, Apr 29: Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa inaugurated the two- day conference of fishermen at Sanghaniketan here on Friday. The conference was organized by the Fishermen Cell of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Speaking on the occasion CM said that the Maritime board aimed at improving 10 ports in the state which will be formed soon and the monetary funds required for the development of the ports will also be released.

He declared that the housing facilities will be provided to the needy fishermen within 2 years. He also said that dredging machine will be provided to Mangalore port and it will also be given the status of ‘All Season’ port.

The fishing communities who form one of the largest communities in the nation have several problems which have remained unsolved. Thus, BJP called for the convention to discuss their problems and offer permanent solutions to them. The national convention of East Coast fishermen was held in Vishakhpattan, Andhra Pradesh last month.

Dr Prakash Malgave, convener of national fisherman cell of BJP presided over the inaugural session, district in charge minister Krishna J Palemar, higher education minister V S Acharya, deputy speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat, Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Katil and Karnataka fisheries development corporation president Nithin Kumar among others were the chief guests.

Lok Sabha opposition leader Sushma Swaraj will address the gathering during the valedictory ceremony to be held on Saturday April 30 at 12:00 pm. BJP state president K S Eshwarappa will preside.

CM lays Foundation Stone

Prior to the fishermen conference, the CM visited Mary Hill Helipad in the city and laid the foundation for the proposed new building of Circuit House.

Higher Education Dr V S Acharya, MP Nalin Kumar, Sadananda Gowda, district in-charge minister Krishna J Palemar and deputy speaker N Yogish Bhat among others were present on the occasion.

    WAHT IS THE LINK BETWEEN C.M & FISHERMAN?

    IS C.M OR FISHERMAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRICE RISE?

    JUST GO & WORK IN THE BOAT FOR ONE DAY WITH THE FISHERMAN THEN YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THE FISH THAT YOU CATCH.

    Looks like the corrupt Govt. is concerned only with fisherman who have been given generously Tax Payers money. But why fishermen and the govt. not bothered about the common man ?

    Where the cought fish is going. It is certainly not comming to Mangalore fish market !!!!

    Will the govt. see that fish cought by the fishermen arrive to fish market in such a way that comman man could also enjoy the pleasure of buying enough fish at a reasonable price.?
