According to Mrs. Mondol, most of the fishermen find it difficult to keep a watch on their boats that are currently berthed in the Uttara Jetty as per the recent directions to safeguard the tribals in the area from Coronavirus.

“Earlier in the initial days of the lockdown, the fishermen of the region were allowed to ply from the Shantipur Floating Jetty by abiding proper guidelines and that was good enough for the fishermen as the Shantipur Jetty is very nearer to the Fishermen home and they can also keep watch on their boats,” said Mrs. Mondol.
