The Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth
M.S. Abthul Wazeeth raised a supplementary question regarding fishers affected by the November 2025 disaster, citing a shore seine fisher from Jalaldeen Square who reported losses of boats and fishing gear valued at about Rs. 3.56 million. He asked whether the Government would provide prompt compensation to enable the fisher, and around 30 dependent families, to resume fishing, and tabled supporting documents.
