KARACHI – Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum welcomed the amendments to the Sindh Fisheries Ordinance that were approved by the Sindh Assembly on Thursday, arguing that the changes were a logical conclusion of their struggle.
“Due to the contract system on inland waters, poor fishermen of the province were unable to earn their livelihoods. After a struggle of more than a month, in which all fisherfolk communities participated, the government has finally considered amending the ordinance,” a PFF spokesperson told Pakistan Today.
