Govt. staff in Lakhsadweep a worried lot
The Lakshadweep Government Employees’ Union has objected to the island administration’s choice to deploy authorities staff aboard fishing vessels for intelligence gathering.

He urged the union territory administration to desist from ‘such a move which may inflict anxiety and worry among government servants…”
There are agencies such as the police, the marine force, Coast Guard and the Navy to guard India’s territorial waters and past. That aside, the State and Central Intelligence companies are at work to detect safety threats. To depute officers recruited for jobs apart from intelligence gathering, this is able to be painful, the letter maintained.
Local fishing boats function inside the territorial waters across the island group and the waters are monitored by the police. Therefore, to depute a authorities servant apart from these working in the sphere of fishing to work for eight to 10 hours on fishing boats would make them tense, Mr. Fathahudheen mentioned.
