Fishermen not allowed to enter sea without ID cards

Author: NNI

KARACHI: Most of the fishermen weren’t allowed to enter the sea as they were not possessing identity cards.

Despite of the fact that some of them showed their ID cards to authorities, the official authorisation of their identities could not be made. The fishermen who were denied entrance were mostly Bengalis.

“The fishermen would not be allowed to enter the sea owing to security issues” clarifies the Fisheries Authority. The authority also confirmed that a ban has been imposed in this regard.

However, the fish exporters union has revealed that number of workers has fallen down by 50 per cent because of the imposed ban and the fish demand-supply factor has also been badly imbalanced. They also objected that receiving an export order has also become difficult in these kinds of situations.

Fish exporters union has also decided to stage a demonstration in this regard at Mazar-i-Quaid on Friday.
