Fisher's in danger due to Corrupted Kerosene supply

The small scale fishermen affected in many ways of social, economic issues and there  is no difference the news we heard at the meeting at Batticoloa today. There are more than  250 out board engines were damaged at the mid of the sea last week due to use of corrupted Kerosene provided by the fuel stations there. The engines were stucked and stopped at mid sea. The Kerosene has mixed with either water or some other chemicals and damaged the engines.
This was one of the worst situation as this could caused to death of fishermen due to damage their engines.
Now fisher families need at least 2000-4000 LKR for repair the engines.
The affected families do not have enough income for survival as the low catch in the east coast of Batticoloa district.
Some of the agencies in the area now searching some possibilities to provide micro finance assistance for the fishermen who affected from the Kerosene issue.
