25K fishermen suffer due to less water
Around 25,000 fishing families dependent on Jayakwadi dam's backwaters are struggling due to reduced water levels, ceasing fishing activities. A proposed floating solar power plant on 15,000 hectares will further threaten their livelihood, leaving them to starve. Thousands of fishermen in villages along the banks rely on fishing for survival, but dwindling water levels have reduced their catch. Women and children suffer from poor health, including skin diseases from prolonged water exposure. The community's poverty and hardship are exacerbated by the declining fishing industry, sparking fears for their future.
