A development package worth ₹5,000 crore would also be implemented in the coastal village in five years, said Mr. Cherian, Minister for Fisheries.

Residents of Chellanam were, once again, besieged by the sea on Friday.
The waves lashing the coastline are strong, and the seawall is crumbling at places. Water entered several homes at Cheriyakadavu, Malakapady, Velankanni, and Companyppady, besides parts of the Saudi-Manassery road, says V.T. Sebastian, a resident of Malakapady.
