Fishermen to hoist black flags on their mechanised boats and hold a demonstration near Rameswaram jetty on July 19 morning
Opposing the Central government's proposals as 'anti-fishermen', members of all fishermen associations in Rameswaram have resolved to stay off the sea for a day on July 19 and hoist black flags on their boats to express their displeasure. Resolutions were passed at a meeting held in Rameswaram on July 18 in which representatives from various fishermen associations participated. Speaking to reporters, a fishermen leader V.P. Sesuraja said that the Union government had proposed a series of rules and regulations which were likely to be tabled in the ensuing Parliament session.More Related News
