Toll free telephone service for fishermen

Chatrapur/Ganjam

Now the fishermen of coastal villages of Ganjam district will get toll free telephone service.

Most of the time fishermen were denied to enter the sea, which affect their livelihood. Even their problems could not reach directly to the Government. The fishermen are facing various problems from different banks while taking loans for repairing and purchasing of boat and fishing net.

So, the Government has decided to provide toll free telephone service to communicate with the fishermen community and solve their day-to-day problems.

The fishermen are not getting chance to physically present every time for getting information as they are busy with their business. But this service will obviously help them and empower them to communicate with the Government, said an officer.

The coastal areas are Nolia Nuagaon, Agasti Nuagaon, Prayagi, Podampeta, Arjipalli, Haripur, Kamalapur, Sonepur, Kantiagada, Gopalpur will be benefitted out of it.
