Vizhinjam port project: Kerala government enhances compensation for catamaran fishers

The State government has issued orders enhancing the compensation package for fishermen using catamarans at Vizhinjam whose livelihood was hit by the international seaport project.

Fifty-three fishermen from Vizhinjam south beach who depended on these rudimentary wooden craft for a living would now receive a compensation of ₹4.20 lakh each. The amount was enhanced from ₹82,440 per head on the recommendations of the Livelihood Impact Appraisal Committee (LIAC) and the Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (VISL).
