Fisheries minister inspects Rs.20-crore fishing harbour works at Rosama Nagar
The fisheries minister inspected a Rs.20-crore fishing harbour project at Rosama Nagar in Ramanathapuram; officials said 95% of work is complete and remaining works will be finished by August 15.
At Rosama Nagar, a fishing harbour development project valued at around Rs.20 crore is underway near Sayalkudi in Ramanathapuram district. Fisheries Minister A. Nāth inspected the works and was informed that about 95% of the work is complete.
Collector Ma. Sivaguru Prabhakaran and fisheries department officials accompanied the minister. The inspection noted installation of facilities such as fish landing areas and a sea wall; some infrastructure has suffered damage due to coastal erosion. Officials said remaining works will be expedited and aimed to open the facilities for fishers by August 15.
The inspection referenced a 150-metre element of the project; that figure appears in the report but requires confirmation from official project records.
