President Mahinda Rajapakse hands over about 50 million rupees worth of fishing gear to fishermen, who suffered various calamities.
President Rajapakse pointed out that the fishermen should work jointly with the world within globalisation, to develop the fishery industry. Fishermen should be encouraged to exploit resources in the deep sea. A high yield will help to bring down prices and also strengthen the economy of the fishermen. Fish products are being exported, earning an income and also strengthening the economy of the fisher folk. He added that the
government and the Fisheries Minister expect to uplift the living conditions of fishermen.
The president was speaking at a ceremony, providing boats and mechanized engines to fishermen at Temple Trees. These were distributed among fishermen who experienced various disasters while engaging in their profession. Among them were 18 fishermen whose trawlers were devastated in a fire at the Kalametiya Fisheries Harbour in Tangalla last year. 40 engines for multi-day trawlers were handed over on behalf of trawlers destroyed in the tsunami. Minister Felix Perera expressed his gratitude for the relief provided to the fishermen. He said they are glad as a responsibility had been fulfilled under the guidance of the President.
The Fisheries Ministry said fish production this year has increased by about five percent. The total production last year was 300,000 metric tons. There are 12 special fisheries harbours in the country, including Beruwala, Hikkaduwa, Galle, Mirissa, Kudawella, Kirinda, Trincomalee, Kalpitiya, Negambo and Chilaw. A considerable number is engaged in the fisheries industry. 58 fishermen received benefits from the President. They were selected from among those who faced calamities in areas such as Trincomalee, Ampara, Hambantota, Tangalla, Matara and Galle. The Fisheries Ministry and the World Food and Agriculture Organization contributed to this cause. The Resident Representative of the Organization Won Shing was present.

Mahinda Chintana !
Rob Sumbramaniyam and give it to Pieris
First they baned mobile in jaffna , then sinhala soldiers each have mobile phone now. and possibly they send one each to all members of the family in the south,
sinhalese are paracides , they dont work or make money they always wanted others possessions.
in 1983 few army got killed a riots thousands of sinhalese become billioneirs.
in 1990's jaffna tamils homes was ransacked and taken to south.
what mahinda did when he came to power?
ordered tamils bank account money that have not been active for 10 years he took them. ( tamils are displaced and many have deposited money in their childrens account once they grow they will have lumbsome.)
many companies,temples running to billions of dollars are taken by sinhala state. ( to date no comment about how much state rob tamils from this one robing)
it was disterbing to see buildings in jaffna most stand as scelleten because sinhala soldiers removed roof,windows,doors even bricks and transported to south ( because they have ransacked all items ,now only buildings left that too are ransacked)
then fishermans boat , many fishermans boats are taken by armforces and it was all taken to south.
and even today mahinda working on a aganda to ransack tamils living in south and giive their assets and businesses to sinhalese. that is why this randsome and disapearence happening. billions of dollars are collected by abduction by state terrorists.
no wonder tamils want to blow themselves up to distroy this paracides.
why cant these people work and earn decent living?
why why why they always wanted tamils money?
would they ever change? |
