| Is it for Real? |
At our house, we haven't bought fish for the whole week. Also, today we are skipping it. This is quite unusual in our household, where its normal to have some type of fish curry on most days of the week.
The reason we avoided buying fish is the fear of contamination due to the sinking of the ship off the coast of Kollam. Also, the containers were carrying hazardous materials.
In our Kerala, it's typical for govt to issue directives for each-and-every thing. However, I found not much communication coming from the govt side. Probably, b'cos I don't watch news! Did you see any govt spokesperson briefing about the fallout of this container ship which sank in our coast.
Now that Pollution Control Board has declared that it's safe to have fish and that contamination has not happened! Can we believe what they say?
- Did they test different samples of marine life
- Did they test the sand where the containers has washed ashore
- Did they test the water from the sea
Did they consult with the central agencies, International community, scientists who are known to give a better verdict on this?
Btw, which is the global standards about such pollution finding mechanism? Did they check with their rule book? What was the protocol they followed and did they public their finding and made it public!
These are just my questions!
