Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: All of the above.
Conflicts over fishing rights can sometimes occur in Manipur between:
- Traditional fisherfolk and commercial operators: Traditional fisherfolk often rely on fishing for their livelihood, and they may feel threatened by the arrival of commercial operators who use more sophisticated fishing methods and equipment. This can lead to conflict over access to fishing grounds and resources.
- Upstream and downstream communities: Upstream communities may use water for irrigation, drinking water, and other purposes, while downstream communities may rely on water for fishing and other activities. This can lead to conflict over water use, especially during periods of drought.
- Different ethnic groups: Manipur is a state with a diverse population, and different ethnic groups may have different customs and traditions related to fishing. This can lead to conflict over fishing rights, especially if there is competition for limited resources.
In addition to these factors, conflict over fishing rights can also be exacerbated by environmental degradation, climate change, and other factors.
