Newly appointed officials at the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources, including one Tamil officer, met with the protesters and the
NPC member T Ravikaran today and assured them that a 'good decision'
would be made on the issue.
Officials were appointed to the Department after it was forced to cease
operations when protesters surrounded it and attempted to enter the
building on August 2.
The demonstrators say that their livelihoods are being destroyed by
Sinhala fishermen, who they said were aided by the military and state
bodies. They also accuse government officials in Mullaitivu of accepting
bribes from Sinhala fishermen to allow them to fish in the region
unlawfully.
