THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A recent report claimed that KSINC may terminate the MoU with EMCC on deep sea fishing. It is learnt that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has directed to reconsider the controversial issues including the MoU.

It is learned that action will be taken against the officials if there is any violation on their part. There are indications that the Chief Minister has expressed his displeasure over the controversy. Pinarayi Vijayan had said that the government had not given permission or signed a memorandum of understanding for deep sea fishing.

However, in the wake of the release of documents related to the MoU and land allotment by Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala today, the Chief Minister has now directed to reconsider the contentious issues. The incident sparked controversy when the Opposition came out with documents claiming that the Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EMCC, a private company, for deep sea fishing in Ascend Kerala.
