Jana Sena Party (JSP) Political Affairs Committee (PAC) chairman Nadendla Manohar on Friday alleged that the State government denied financial assistance to nearly 1.70 lakh fisherfolk who were being affected by the ongoing annual fishing ban in the Bay of Bengal in Andhra Pradesh.
Each family affected by the 61-day ban was entitled to get ₹10,000 during the period.
Earlier in the day, the JSP took out a padayatra along the Kakinada coast as part of the its campaign called, ‘Matsyakarulaku Basataga Jana Sena’, from Jagannadhapuram to Etimoga.
