The Hon. M.S. Uthumalebbe
M.S. Uthumalebbe asked whether the Ministry would compensate four Point Pedro fishermen for reported losses totalling Rs. 3.1 million, including damage to an engine boat, nets, gear and GPS equipment. He also requested details on the amount each fisherman would receive, noting that insurance coverage may differ among them.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, my first supplementary question:
¶ 02 These four Point Pedro fishermen suffered losses: the engine boat damage is valued at Rs. 1.5 million; nets and gear at Rs. 1.4 million; GPS equipment at Rs. 200,000 — a total of Rs. 3.1 million. You said the Ministry intervened to bring them back, for which we are thankful. But beyond bringing the fishermen safely, will you compensate for the damages to their engine boat, nets and other gear? Also, as you mentioned insurance, in cases where some have insurance and some do not, can you state how much compensation each of these four will receive?
