India is ready to provide fuel for fishermen living in the North who are unable to go to fishing due to the absence of fuel.
Accordingly, more than 700 fishermen living in the Northern islands including Kaytes, Nainativu, Delft and Analativu will receive fuel from India. The neighbour country has allocated 15,000 litres of fuel for this purpose and these stocks will be distributed to fishermen in the next few days, reports said.
India already provided 4,600 litres of fuel for a group of fishermen on May 28 at the rate of 20 litres each. The affair was carried out with the intervention of the officials of the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka.
