Kodiakkarai fishermen against boats from other districts

Kodiakkarai fishermen against boats from other districts

Fishermen from Kodiakkarai have expressed strong dissatisfaction after peace talks held at Vedaranyam in Nagapattinam district failed to reach an agreement on the issue of allowing fishermen from other districts to operate in the area.

The fishing season along the coast lasts from October to March. During this period, fishermen from districts such as Karaikal, Pudukkottai, Mayiladuthurai, Thoothukudi and Ramanathapuram usually travel to Kodiakkarai, near Vedaranyam, and stay there to engage in fishing.

This has led to disputes between local fishermen and those from other districts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fishermen from outside the district were sent back. However, tensions resurfaced when they returned to resume fishing. A case relating to the issue is also pending before a court.

With the possibility of a law and order problem, the Fisheries Department recently warned fishermen from other districts to leave the area along with their boats. Notices were also pasted on the boats, causing concern among those who had arrived at Kodiakkarai for fishing.

Following their representation, a peace meeting was convened at the Vedaranyam Revenue Divisional Officer’s office under the chairmanship of RDO Kannan. Representatives of fishermen from Arukattuthurai, Pushpavanam, Vellapallam, Vanavan Mahadevi and Kodiakkarai participated.

Vedaranyam Deputy Superintendent of Police Annadurai, Tahsildar Pasupathi and Fisheries Department officials also took part in the discussions.
