Fishermen and others in the industry consider the government’s move to acquire land for parking facilities at the Kalamukku fish landing centre as a victory after years of protests. The government has allocated funds for land acquisition and preliminary works, highlighting the importance of sufficient parking space and an approach road. Local representatives believe this development will have a positive impact on the coastal area’s development. Fishermen have also voiced concerns about the lack of infrastructure, including an auction hall and drainage improvements.
