Missing fishermen family to be given Rs 1 lakh each: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, Jan 9: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that steps were taken to give Rs 1 lakh to each family of the fishermen of Udupi who were missing while fishing.
Speaking to reporters at his Home office Krishna here on Wednesday, the CM said that the compensation would be distributed to the families.
But the state government has not neglected the fishermen missing incident. The state government was responding to families of fishermen. Fisheries Minister Venkatarao Nadagouda was in Udupi and observing the situation. But there was no truth in the allegation that the state government was not responding to the problem of the fishermen, he said.
In spite of his busy schedule, he has informed the issue to the Union Defence Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister as soon as he got the news. Even the officials were also directed to take all possible steps. The state government has already written a letter to the centre. Even the Coast Guard also responded to the appeal of the state government, which has taken all possible measures to trace the missing fishermen, he said.
Already, 15 fishermen arrested by the Iran government were released. Searching was also being conducted in the view, whether the fishermen were abducted by the terrorists, the CM said.
