Fishermen to block ships

20 Jan 2021 / Jawaharlal Nehru port, India

Fisherfolk families of Jawaharlal Nehru Port area have given a call to stop movement of ships from tomorrow (21 January).

The villagers have been at a transit camp at JNPT for over 40 years after their land were acquired for the country’s largest container port. The affected fisherman are protesting at not having received compensation and, after writing to the Chief Minister, decided to launch a ’Channel Bandh’ agitation tomorrow by blocking channel movements.
