<p>Oil mixed black waste materials were found now and then in Panambur, Tannirbavi, Baikampadi and Chitrapura seashores due to excessive industrailisation and improper waste management. Now the turn is of Mukka-Mitrapatna beach, where the seashore is polluted to the core due to the carelessness of fishing factories. <br /><br />There are three fishery factories that are working in this area and they are letting polluted chemical blended water to the sea through pipeline which is ruining sea in the region. <br /><br />Water in the sea has turned black and white due to the chemical mix. The residents of the surrounding region are supporting the factories for reasons better known to them and factory owners. However, the fishermen whose lives are dependent on fishing have raised their voice against the trouble. <br /><br />One of the fishermen, Venkatesh has severely criticised the unscientific method used by the factories which are in turn costing high for the lives of fishermen. Due to chemicals that are let out by the factories, fishing population is diminishing day by day.<br /><br /> The seashore has turned black and is slippery because of oil mixed with the sea. Fishes are having unnatural death. “We used to get huge fishes once in two days, but now hardly we get any big fishes once in four days too. Now it has been difficult for us to lead our life,” says Venkatesh.<br /><br />Ajeer, a plant which was grown on the seashore rocks too is disappearing every passing day. The plant was one of the major food consumed by fishes. “The surrounding environment is also stinking so badly and if we question about this with the factory owners, they say that waste is transferred to water after undergoing purification process,” he said.<br /> <br />Polluted wells<br /><br />The air let out by the factories have a white powdered content resulting in the well water turning brown. The drinking water is polluted and water source is diminishing in the region, complain the localites.<br /><br />Fishery in loss<br /><br />Lakhs of rupees funded on fishery business is now facing the threat of loss, as the fishery business may incur in loss due to water pollution. The traditional boats are anchored on the seashore with lack of work.<br /><br />“We don’t find fishes even in the middle of the sea,” says a young fisherman Navin Shriyan. He says that villagers can hear the sound of tones of fishes splashing to the shore at night. <br /><br />The villagers not only put out their anger against the factory owners, but also on the media for arriving to the place seeking information and ending with not publishing or telecasting it. <br /><br />With the local leaders too maintaining silence, the fishermen have urged the district administration to take measures in this regard. <br /></p>
