He was addressing a gathering during the distribution of Diesel Pass Book to the beneficiary fishermen at Udupi Taluk Panchayat Hall on August 7. He said that after he became the minister for fisheries, he had urged the chief minister to give importance to providing necessary documents along with fishing boats to young fishermen to help them become self-employed. Certain documents will help fishermen during coast guard and police checking or interrogation, he added.

On the occasion, the minister distributed Diesel Pass Book to 137 fishermen.
