Fish for sale: Court orders
In what seems an unusual development, Mullaitivu District Fisheries Department officials were compelled to sell fish that have been caught illegally.
It was at an auction sale after a Sri Lanka Navy patrol arrested eleven fishermen and took custody of their catch in the seas off Mullaitivu in the Eastern coast. The fishermen were from Puttalam and Trincomalee.
The fishermen were produced at the Magistrate’s Court in Trincomalee and later remanded till August 7. The officials were directed by the court to auction the fish.
So they set up a makeshift stall at the court premises and sold the fish. The sales’ proceeds were deposited with the court.
