Summary:
The state government accepted their demand and gave nod for new harbour exclusively for the fishermen at Kuchhadi village, some 10 km from Porbandar.“We object to the setting up of our harbour in Kuchhadi as it is far away from the main port. These boats collide with eachother and get damaged during strong currents and cyclones every year, incurring heavy losses to the fishermen Following this problem, the fishermen had requested the state government to set up a new harbour for their boats. Near the main port of Porbandar, there are ice storages and ice factories to keep our fish supply. If the new harbour is set up in Kuchhadi, we will have to travel all the way to Porbandar to store our fish. As our residences are also near the main port, we will have to shift our families to Kuchhadi..
