A meeting of the Fishermen Watch Group was convened at Kishorinagar to discuss measures aimed at strengthening coastal vigilance and ensuring the safety of fishing communities. The gathering brought together local fishermen, community leaders, and representatives from maritime authorities to deliberate on pressing issues related to security and livelihood.
During the session, participants highlighted the importance of coordinated monitoring along the coastline to prevent illegal fishing activities, smuggling, and other maritime threats. The group emphasized that vigilance is not only vital for protecting marine resources but also for safeguarding the lives and livelihoods of fishermen who depend on the sea.
Speakers at the meeting underscored the need for greater collaboration between local watch groups and official agencies. They suggested regular patrols, improved communication systems, and awareness campaigns to strengthen community participation in coastal security. The role of youth volunteers was also discussed, with calls to involve them in training programs that would enhance their ability to respond to emergencies.
