Grand Baie: Angry Fishermen Against Soodhun

Fishermen of Grand Baie are very angry against Showkutally Soodhun. What has gripe: the fact that the former minister has filed a complaint last Saturday, with the Coast Guard to challenge the presence of a semi-industrial ship in the region. So, an argument broke out between the owner, Ritesh Guboy and MP No. 15.

Showkutally Soodhun actually lives in the home of his son who is traveling abroad. These fishermen and ask the member for Orange from elsewhere because the boat is present in the lagoon of Grand Baie years.

The dispute between the two individuals even landed in court. Showkutally Soodhun lodged with the Supreme Court so that the boat 18 meters long anchors but also his injunction to that effect was refused. The case, which was called June 11, 2013, will resume on the background January 10, 2014.

MP argues that the Tourism Authority does not permit the presence, 100 meters from the beach, boats of this type. He also mentioned cases of pollution. According to him, the maintenance of the boat is made on site every twenty days and at the same time, the oil used and remains of fish are dumped into the lagoon. These wastes may have an impact on the health of bathers, he said.

For its part, the owner sweeps of hand these allegations, saying to express that they are unfounded. Ritesh Guboy believes his boat does not interfere, especially since it is in the lagoon every twenty days.
