Chennai: Almost a year after she disappeared along with hundreds of passengers of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, experts and activists paid rich encomiums to Chandrika Sharma, executive secretary of International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF), here on Friday.
Sunday marks the first anniversary of the disappearance of the flight, a mystery till date.
The occasion was the ICSF-Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) India Workshop, where Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries — a widely-hailed effort in which Sharma played a key role — was released.
Speakers at the workshop highlighted her contribution in formulating the guidelines in the context of food security and poverty eradication, the first such internationally agreed instrument dedicated to small-scale fisheries sector, even as her husband, KS Narendran, looked on silently. The flight carrying Chandrika, along with 227 passengers and 12 crew, went missing while she was on her way to Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
