Equipment for fishermen
As part of improving the coastal security and establishing a full-fledged communication network it has been proposed to equip the trawler and motorized
boat owners with “seamless radio communication” facility.
In a statement released here District Collector S.Suresh Kumar has stated that to facilitate fishermen to own such communication equipment (walkie talkie) a subsidy of 90 per cent would be provided. For the purpose the fishermen could obtain the prescribed application from the office of the Assistant Director of Fisheries Department.
