District Country Craft Fishermen Welfare Association has demanded the Union Government and the State Government to allow 200 traditional fishermen from Tamil Nadu to offer prayers at Saint Anthony’s Church in Katchatheevu.
A meeting of the fishermen, led by association president S. P. Rayappan, passed a resolution to this effect here on Friday.
The Sri Lankan Government has denied permission for the traditional fishermen from Tamil Nadu, in view of the COVID-19 situation, to participate in the annual festival of Saint Anthony’s Church which will be held on March 11 and 12.
