Exports are also likely to be severely affected by the 90 percent reduction in fish hunting, while activities at the Karachi Fish Harbor have also come to an end.

He said that allowing deep sea trawlers will affect 2 million fishermen, while if their families are also included, about 10 million people will suffer from starvation.
Asif Bhatti said that in this regard, the license has also been closed after giving 15 days, which is a complete abuse, the government is rewarding foreign companies and individuals, due to which local fishermen have been severely affected. He said that pollution has spread up to 16 nautical miles, in which it is impossible to hunt. The federal government should reconsider the decision.
