Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday laid foundation stone through videoconferencing for constructing groyne and fish landing centre at a cost of ₹15 crore in the coastal village of Kooduthazhai near Uvari in the district.

Mr. Appavu said Mr. Stalin, who solicited the fishers’ suggestions for their development during the meeting held at Ramanathapuram, was sanctioning in a phased manner the construction of groynes in the coastal hamlets for protecting the boats and the coastal hamlets from sea erosion caused by heavy tides.
As ‘patta’ for housing plots of the fishermen is also being given in a phased manner, the Tirunelveli district fishermen will get the ‘gift’ from the Chief Minister during his visit to Tirunelveli on February 6 and 7.
“Moreover, fishermen who do not have houses, will be given free houses in phases,” Mr. Appavu said.
