Rajkot: Porbandar-based National Fish Forum (NFF) had written to the district administration and Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) to ban the industries releasing polluted water. The fishermen’s body had raised its objection against laying of deep sea pipelines which will discharge ‘untreated’ water in the sea killing aquatic lives.
In its memorandum to the Porbandar district collector and GPCB, NFF had pointed out to the state government’s scheme of laying deep sea pipelines on the entire coastline for discharging the water released by industries.
In Porbandar too the industries have started laying the pipelines. “We have objections to digging of farm and government lands in Porbandar for laying of pipelines which will not only pollute sea water but also the farm lands,” the memorandum stated.
