After holding interactions with farmers, middle class flat buyers and ex-servicemen, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will on Tuesday interact with fishermen at Chavakkad beach, a small coastal town in Thrissur district in Kerala. On the same day he will be meeting representatives of rubber grower organisations in Aluva in Ernakulam district. He will also address a Pradesh Youth Congress rally in Kozhikode at a time when the Congress led UDF Government in the State is hit by controversies and internal dissension. Assembly polls are due in the State next year.
Fishermen in Chavakkad were agitating against the Centre’s decision to extend trawling ban from 47 days to 61 days and from 12 nautical miles to 200 nautical miles of the Indian sea.
