BJP St Andre MLA Francis Silveira told the House that nearly 10,000 workers from Bihar and Jharkhand would be landing in Goa soon to work on various trawlers, as the fishing season is set to kick start from August 1. 
Silveira said that these workers are being brought by the trawler operators, as no Goan prefer to take up such jobs. "I would request the govt not to take action against them as if they are stopped from entering, then the entire fishing business will be left paralysed," he said. 
Silveira, who was backed by Benaulim NCP MLA Churchill Alemao, further stated that the govt can do their verification and check regarding where they have come from and to verify on which trawler they will be working on and at which jetty.
