HON CM has assured us that he will look into our matter seriously as lakhs of people and families all over Maharashtra and India are dependent on Sassoon docks...

Ray of Hope...

On 16th October 2014 the apex court has passed an order against us stating “To Vacate the Godowns in Six Months.”

On 19th we all have seen that the BJP has emerged as a single largest party in Maharashtra. Hope the BJP and its allies will take Sassoon Docks issue very seriously and get things done in the favour of the fishing community as promised by them.

It doesn't look much complicated now because BJP is now in the state and in the centre too, due to this there's a ray of hope that the fishing industry won't b harmed or else lakhs of people all over the state and India will get badly affected...

Once the Maharashtra Government is formed we will be raising this issue again...

Now, fisher folk don't have to mortgage homes

The fishing community in Mumbai has something to cheer about. Now, fishermen in Maharashtra will no longer have to mortgage their homes for loans from the National Co-operative Development Corporation.
Fishermen, who have applied for loans to convert their non-mechanised fishing boats into mechanised ones, had a tough time availing loans because the conditions required them mortgaging their homes.
Fisher folks usually live in joint families. And, if one had to apply for a loan and mortgage the home in its place, it would lead to a family dispute.
This issue was brought forth by Industry Minister Narayan Rane who took it up with the Centre.
Now, instead of mortgaging his house for a loan, a fisherman can mortgage his boat against which the loan will be sanctioned.
This demand was accepted by the Corporation and it has decided that it will not insist on immovable assets.
