Protection for deep sea fishermen

Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Minister Rajitha Senaratne has assumed Justice Minister and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress National Leader Rauff Hakeem that action would be taken to protect fishermen in the deep seas off Ampara.

This follows a meeting between the two Ministers at Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Ministry recently.

Decisions were taken at the meeting regarding problems in the Mutur fisheries harbour, housing scheme for tsunami affected fishermen in Sainthamaruthu and the boat repairing workshop.

Minister Hakeem apprised Minister Senaratne that due to heavy currents the fishing boats were being drawn towards the deep seas and the fishermen went missing.

Minister Senaratne has assured Minister Hakeem that a communication tower will be set up at the Oluvil fisheries harbour area in a few weeks to communicate with over 2,000 fishing boats in the area and the large number of vessels passing by daily.

Minister Senaratne has directed the authorities to prepare a feasibility report following a request by Minister Rauff Hakeem to develop the area close to the Mutur Jetty to facilitate the fishermen from Mutur.
