They say the current amount is not enough for 61 days
Various fishermen organisations have urged the government to increase the dole given during the 61-day long annual fishing ban, which is currently on.
The amount is provided since fishermen are usually without work during the ban, which is meant for mechanised boats.
“The ₹5,000 given is not enough to run a family for 61 days. The government is asking us to stay away from fishing, which is why it began giving us the dole. Families that are below the poverty line, are members of fishermen cooperative societies and live in fishing villages are given the assistance,” said Nanjil Ravi, Akhila Indhiya Meenavar Sangam.
