Today (26) 10 days will be completed for the strike started by Chilaw fishermen demanding kerosene at a low price.
Due to this situation, more than 1000 fishermen living in and around Chilaw have decided not to go to the sea or the lagoon to catch fish.
The Chilaw fish market has been completely closed for 10 days due to fishermen not going to fishing.
Due to the current situation, the residents of Chilaw and surrounding areas were unable to buy fish in the last few days.
But a group of businessmen were seen selling fish in the Malwatta area on the Chilaw-Kurunegala road on the morning of the 26th.
They said that the fish brought from the southern and eastern provinces are sold in this place, and because the Chilaw fish market was closed, this place was chosen as an alternative.
A large number of tourist fish sellers and buyers were also seen at the fish market in the Malwatta area.
