In the interim, anglers delegates from Tiruchy said that the numbers are too low for the six waterfront regions to acknowledge and share. Bringing up that the arrangement,
if executed, would make a considerable measure of disarray among the anglers group, they trusted that the Sri Lankan government would overhaul the quantities of allowable angling trawlers to no less than 250 for every locale in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry coast, reaching out from Karaikal to Ramanathapuram areas.
Addressing Express, U Arulanandam, president of Alliance for Release of Innocent Fishermen (ARIF), said, "At present, under 100 angling trawlers from whole Tamil Nadu coast sail past the International Maritime Boundary Line to angle in Sri Lankan waters. Beforehand, the number was at 1,500 trawlers for every day, except it dove because of the incessant captures by the Lankan Navy. Despite the fact that we are pushed to the divider to acknowledge the limitations laid by the Sri Lankan government, allowing only 250 trawlers for the six seaside regions is profoundly inadequate."
The anglers delegates noticed that there were around 1,500 angling trawlers in complete spread crosswise over three seaside areas – Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, and Ramanathapuram – and it would help the anglers if the Sri Lankan government allowed no less than 500 trawlers for each day in their waters to participate in angling.
In the interim, R Nathan (29), an angler from Rameswaram, said, "We wander into the ocean thrice a week. Regardless of the fact that they permit us to enter no less than two days, it would be advantage us."
