The Coastal Development Authority has proposed to develop an integrated coastal fishing village at Sasihitlu village of Mangaluru taluk, near Mulky, said Chairman Mattar Ratnakar Hegde here on Saturday.
Talking to reporters, Mr. Hegde said integrated coastal fishing villages are being developed as part of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana. Apart from improving facilities at the fish-landing point, these villages will have other facilities, including areas for drying fish, processing, preservation, and selling it.
Mr. Hegde said the Dakshina Kannada district administration has earmarked area around the jetty in Sasihitlu for the purpose. An amount of ₹7.5 crore has been earmarked for the project. While the State Government will spend ₹3 crore, the remaining will be spent by the Union Government, he said.
