What issue is the Tawa Matsya Sangh fighting for?

The Tawa Matsya Sangh was founded to fight for the rights of the fishermen. They were denied their livelihood when fishing rights in the Tawa reservoir were given by government to private contractors in 1994. The contractors began to threaten the villagers who refused to give up their rights. The Tawa Matsya Sangh protested by organising rallies and road blockades. Finally the government decided to give fishing rights to displaced people in 1996.
