With recurring fishing boat accidents and deaths at Muthalapozhi in the capital district sparking uproar, the Kerala government has decided to hold urgent talks with the Adani Group on Tuesday and, as a measure to keep the harbour mouth free from the accumulation of sand, implement a sand-bypassing system.
Fisheries Minister Saji Cherian, after discussions with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Ministers from the district V. Sivankutty, G.R. Anil and Antony Raju here on Monday, also announced a relief package for the families of the four fishermen who died in the most recent boat capsize on July 10.
The Ministers will hold discussions with the Adani Group at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
