Minister Poojary said that the Development of Fishing Port at Hejamadi Kodi has been lying pending for the last 30 years which has been now approved. The development of Hejamadi port will reduce the pressure on Mangalore and Malpe ports as well. If everything goes as per the plan and the port is developed, then it can handle 26,224 metric tonnes of fish annually with 156 mechanised boats, 467 motor traditional boats and 500 traditional boats, he explained.
The 32 acres of government land, required for the project, has been transferred to Port department by the Revenue department. About 12 acres of private land needs to be acquired for the port work.
The jetty at second auction yard of Gangolli port had collapsed one-and-a-half-years ago. With the silt accumulation at the port, fishermen were inconvenienced. A 405 metre-long jetty, auction yard and other development works at Gangolli port was developed at a cost of Rs 8.2 crore about 10 years ago. The second auction yard was facing threat after the collapse of the jetty. With the Cabinet approving renovation work at an estimated cost of Rs 12 crore, it will benefit the fishermen.
