The spokesperson of the state government, Rajendra Trivedi informed about these welfare packages in a press conference. He told that approx total 29716 boats are registered in the state out of which around 50 boats faced the losses. An amount of 35,000 will be offered to the fishermen to overcome their losses. Smaller boats that suffered from more losses will be provided with the amount of 75,000 while 5 lakhs of loan at the interest rate of 10% will be offered as help.
Adding more to the matter, the Chief Minister has increased the income amount eligibility for these welfare packages. Recently it was 3lakhs for the fishermen which has now increased to 4lakhs respectively.
