While tourism and tourist activities around the Loktak Lake are growing, the fate of the fishers is becoming more uncertain as the catch has declined drastically.
The Champhu Khangpok floating village fishing community wants the state government to consult them before launching any development projects in Loktak Lake area.
"The continuous spreading of thick biomass has blocked the paths on the lake. As a result, the fishermen are facing untold grievances in carrying out fishing activities."
The meeting also resolved to stand together against the conversion of the Pumlen area into a conservation reserve for Sangai.
Often pushed to the edge, womenfolk of the fishing community of Champu Khangpok floating village take the lead to protect the beautiful Loktak lake that is not merely a scenic recreational spot for tourists and visitors, but is also a living civilisation and a page of history.
