| With no sign yet of the Centre’s promised apex maritime agency for coordinated coastal security, five state and central departments are monitoring Maharashtra’s 720-kilometre coastline, home to eight lakh fishermen in 382 villages. In addition, there is also a sixth unit, a joint patrol of the first five. The result is confusion.
After 26/11, the Navy and then the Coast Guard took up active surveillance along the coastal stretch. The other units on patrol are the state fisheries department, Maharashtra Maritime Board, Customs and the joint team.
Fishermen say there are so many units, each with its own set of rules to impose, that they are confused. They also complain of highhandedness of Naval and Coast Guard officials who, they say, often confiscate fishing and boat licences
