Keralam Sanctions Rs 62.46 Crore for Fishermen Relief Scheme Amid Lean Months
The Keralam government has sanctioned Rs 62.46 crore for a Centrally-supported relief scheme aiding traditional fishermen during lean months and fishing bans.

Plans are underway to transfer assistance directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts, with further instalments expected.
