‘State govt. promises to arrange meeting with Delhi before Jan. 10’
In a major development, fishermen associations from Rameswaram and other pockets of the coastal district have decided to call off the stir with immediate effect and venture into the sea from January 3, 2022.
The associations stayed off the sea in protest since December 19 after the Sri Lankan Navy arrested 68 fishermen and seized their vessels under charges of poaching into their territory. They had planned to resort to rail blockade on January 1, 2022, at Thangachimadam .
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
