Uthumalebbe asked whether the Ministry would provide interim livelihood support for four Jaffna District fishermen who were washed ashore in India while deep sea fishing and later repatriated following representations. He noted that the affected fishermen and their damaged boats had not yet received compensation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary: From Jaffna District four fishermen who went deep sea fishing during the same period were washed ashore in India. With representations made by me and the Hon. Rauff Hakeem, they were brought back. Yet, the affected fishermen and their damaged boats have not received compensation. Can your Ministry undertake any interim livelihood support programme for such affected persons?
