Margao: Goa Forward President and Fatorda MLA during “जंय गांव थंय हांव”, met local fishermen from Canacona, who diversified into water sports to create livelihoods through tourism.
“I had raised their demand in the Assembly for permission to operate, and following this, the government notified a zone for their activities. Instead of supporting these Goan entrepreneurs, the government is now using new rules to target their livelihoods,” Sardesai said.
“Now, an order meant for inland waterways is being used to target activities at sea. The sea is not an inland waterway. Instead of backing local Goans, the government is pushing them out of their own coastline. This is not a tourism policy, it is injustice. Tourism must empower Goans, not destroy their livelihoods,” he further said.
