Fisheries harbour for Hambantota
Raja WAIDYASEKERA-Tissamaharama special corr
A fisheries harbour has been constructed in Hambantota at a cost of
Rs 7 million.
The lack of a fisheries harbour in Hambantota earlier compelled the
fishing community of Hambantota to sail to distant fisheries harbours
such as Kudawella, Kirinda and Tangalle in their vessels.
The fisheries harbour consists of a net mending hall, an auction
hall, a canteen, a recreation hall and a filling station. Manager of the
harbour P Punchihewa said an ice plant too would be installed in the
near future.
Nearly 200 multi-day boats and 100 fishing crafts could also be
anchored at this harbour.
