Lankan fishermen urge Govt. to solve water contamination issue, loss of livelihood [VIDEO]

(UTV | COLOMBO) – Fishermen living along the western shores have urged the government to find solutions and pay compensation for the loss of their only source of livelihood caused by the leakage of chemicals from the recently burnt container X-Press Pearl vessel, stressing that they were unable to fish because the chemicals that leaked into the water had seriously damaged the fishing nets, and killed the fish.

They also pointed out that many government officials visited the place, yet they did not care to solve their problems.
