THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Theeradesa Mahilavedi, the women's wing of the
Kerala Swathantra Matsya Thozhilali Federation, has warned that it will
resist any move to relocate fishermen and their families from the coastal
areas.

A meeting organised by the Mahilavedi here on Saturday alleged attempts by
the State and Central governments to displace fisherfolk from their
coastal settlements in the name of tourism development. Speakers at the
meeting said they would mobilise the coastal residents for a resistance
movement.

The meeting alleged that women from the coastal areas employed in various
firms located at the Kinfra Apparel Park, Thumba, were being heavily
exploited. Theeradesa Mahilavedi district president Elizabeth Antony
presided over the meeting. V. Sivankutty, MLA, inaugurated the function.
