Fish shortage due to fishermen’s boycott
(Srilankamirror) - There is a likelihood of a short supply of fish as a result of fishermen’s decision not to go out to sea in protest against the fuel price hike.
Since yesterday (Feb. 13), fishermen of Chilaw, Negombo, Hambantota and Kirinda are refraining from engaging in their profession.
At the Chilaw and Negombo fish markets, there are no sellers.
In Hambantota, fish prices have been increased.
The situation could worsen by tomorrow, report said.
