Hundreds of lagoon fishermen at Norochcholai came to street at Puttlam agitating against the power lines through Puttlam lagoon.
The agitators claimed that the electricity board has planned Norochcholai power plant to bring electricity to Anuradhapura putting up power lines along the Puttlam lagoon.
The fishermen says there will be serious damage to environment which caused the economic loss to them if the project continues.
They say the aithorities do not listen to them and give them even appointment for dialogue.
Pathmanathan, the field activist of Puttlam District Fisheries Solidarity says there should be a coordination among lagoon fishermen to overcome challenges of fishermen around Puttlam lagoon.
