Fisherfolk protest against opening of a recreation club near Pamban Vivekananda Memorial
Local fisherfolk submitted a petition to the Ramanathapuram Collector, opposing the opening of a liquor bar near the Vivekananda Memorial in Pamban.
Fisherfolk in Pamban have strongly opposed the government's permission to open a private recreation club (bar) in the Taravaithoppu village, located on the way to the Vivekananda Memorial. Over 100 people submitted a petition to the Ramanathapuram district Collector.
The residents argued that the establishment would disrupt the sanctity of Rameswaram, negatively impacting both the experience of spiritual tourists and the livelihoods of local fishermen. They have urged the district administration to intervene and block the move.
