In a bid to urge fishermen to play a significant role in maritime security, the Coast Guard Regional Headquarters (West) today organised a motorcycle rally along the fishing hamlets of Maharashtra and Goa.
A team of 25 motorcyclists, comprising personnel from Coast Guard, Marine Police, Fisheries, Customs and ONGC, will pass through fishing colonies along the Maharashtra and Goa coasts as part of the rally which will conclude on June 10 here, a Coast Guard media release said today.
The rally was flagged off by Maharashtra minister Mahadev Jankar. Senior Coast Guard officials were present on the occasion.
The release said that the rally aimed at making fishermen the "eyes and ears" of the coastal security network.
The event will also sensitise the fishing community to adopt safe seafaring practices such as carrying life jackets and essential documents of the boat crew.
