Fishermen stage protest

BERHAMPUR: Traditional marine fishermen of Ganjam district staged a demonstration at Chatrapur on Thursday in protest against the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission, which may replace the existing Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) Act. They alleged that dilution of CRZ Act would affect their livelihood as it would allow private companies to establish SEZs on the coast.
