The Bandora Panchayat Biodiversity Committee members on Wednesday held meeting in the Panchayat office with Water Resources Department (WRD) officials and rectified the draft Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). The meeting was called by WRD officials for inspection of the draft CZMP following complaints and objections from Bandora locals. Adv Surel Tilve, Gurudas Naik and other members were present for the meeting. The officials and villagers verified the respective plans. After finding some discrepancies with regards to locations of bundhs and sluice gates, the WRD officials agreed to rectify them. Speaking to the media persons, Adv Tilve said, “There shouldn’t be any mistake in draft CZMP or it will have effects on the villagers in the future.” The WRD officials cooperated with villagers in finalising the plan. The proper locations of houses of fishermen, fish breeding sites, mangroves, high tide and low tide lines, khazan lands in draft CZMP should be incorporated with the best interest of villagers.
