NAGAPATTINAM
Citing the inevitability of depending on deep-sea fishing amid escalation in the cost of diesel and mid-sea attack by Sri Lankan Navy, fishermen in Nagapattinam-Mayiladuthurai disricts have urged the State government to increase the extent of subsidy on fuel as also the annual quota.
Periodic instances of mid-sea attack by Sri Lankan Navy have necessitated this demand by the fishermen owning motorised boats and mechanised trawlers. Also, since last year, the fishermen have been seeking intervention by the State government following an increase in the State VAT on diesel which was followed by a sharp hike in central excise.
