Authorities silent on canned fish factory that destroys Southern Sea (VIDEO)

Date:

The Central Environmental Authority (CEA), the Coast Guard Department and other responsible government institutes are maintaining a silent policy on the canned fish factory located in the Galle Harbour and the maintenance of this factory is being backed by political power, revealed the Surakimu Sri Lanka National Movement, speaking to a briefing held today (16).

Although the CEA has sought the advice of the Attorney General to take an action against this canned fish factory, it would be a question how many years would it take to receive instructions from the AG’s Office, Pahiyangala Ananda Sagara Thero, the Chairman of the Movement stated, alleging that the fish waste brought to the factory for the production of canned fish is released into the ocean without any treatment.

Accordingly, about one hundred and fifty thousand litres of waste water is released into the ocean on a daily basis, the Thera revealed.
