A long standing promise made by the Kerala government to the fishing community became a reality on Tuesday(August 18) as the authorities sanctioned Rs.6 crore to procure three marine ambulances. ‘These marine ambulances have become essential in the wake of numerous reports of our fishermen getting injured due to the vagaries of the rough sea and also due to accidents that occur in the middle of the sea,’ Fisheries Minister K Babu told the media. |
