As the fishermen started agitating against the led powered trawlers affecting their livelihood, and blocked the river Mandovi , it appears that the offshore casinos like Deltin Jaqk, Casino Pride which are floating in the river Mandovi have been affected to some extent. It had become difficult for the boats that got the tourists from the jetty to the casinos to navigate the river which was blocked.
The media reported that the number of trips to the casinos had been curtailed to some extent. Most of the tourists to the casinos of Goa are from North India, where they have plenty of money, and the people are fascinated by the sea coast, beaches of Goa.
This year, the fisheries catch in Goa has reduced drastically and it appears that unless the matter is resolved, there are likely to be more agitations.
