Sri Lankan military personnel are actively engaged in catching shrimp in the North-East which is having damaging effects on the environment, complained the Mullaitivu district Federation of Fishermen Societies.
The fishermen stated the military involvement in shrimp fishing was affecting their livelihoods and the use of boats was having detrimental environmental effects on the river.
They called on Tamil National Alliance MPs and Northern Provincial Council members to help ensure the military are no longer involved in fishing activities in the North-East.
