BJP National Secretary P. Muralidhar Rao expressed support to the agitation by fishermen against the proposed setting up of a petro-coke factory at Chaatimetta village in Visakhapatnam district. In a statement here on Thursday, he said the BJP shared their fears regarding the threat posed to marine life by hazardous lead and mercury that will be let out from the factory. Mr. Rao demanded that the Central and State governments safeguard the livelihood of thousands of fishermen and marine life along the coastline and urged the Centre to evolve a ‘National Fishing Policy’. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/article3503144.ece

About Intercultural Resources
Intercultural Resources is a forum for research and political intervention on issues related to the impacts and alternatives to destructive development. Our effort draws upon the social, cultural, material and intellectual resources that have been generated in the course of dialogues between people of different cultures on questions of social justice, development and self-rule. We are of the view that dialogue can sustain plurality and open possibilities for recovery of the ground lost on account of inter-cultural alienation, which is manifest in a variety of forms of violence that we encounter everyday at different levels of social life. Intercultural Resources is based in Delhi, India. Email: ihpindia@gmail.comLeave a Reply Cancel reply
