The fishermen have urged the authorities to increase their fuel quota along with the increase of fuel quota allocated for three-wheeler drivers.

They pointed out the amount of kerosene received through the ration system is inadequate to carry out their jobs.

The number of families depending on fishing in the area is more than 500.
