Pondicherry
By Our Staff Reporter
PONDICHERRY, NOV. 21. The Chief Minister, N. Rangasamy, has said that the administration had stepped up efforts to get funds from the Centre to build a fishing harbour in Karaikal. Launching an information kiosk on availability of fish installed by the Department of Fisheries and Fishermen Welfare at the Thengaithittu fishing harbour in collaboration with the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation on World Fishermen Welfare Day today, the Chief Minister said the kiosk would give fishermen details of fish availability, to enable them to locate the fish population easily. He highlighted welfare measures the Government had introduced for the fishermen in the Union Territory and urged them to ensure that they used the infrastructure both to improve their earnings and contribute to the State's treasury through export of fish.
