After the devastating Vizag Hudhud, the fishermen who suffered losses were sanctioned funds. A large amount out of Rs.14.07 crore sanctioned to fishermen for the damages suffered during cyclone Hudhud to their boats and towards release of subsidy for construction of 300 new boats in lieu of the fibre crafts lost has lapsed for failure to utilise them by March 31. Of the sanctioned amount, Rs.8.07 crore has been earmarked for payment of relief to the fishermen affected by Vizag Hudhud and sanction of 50 per cent subsidy for construction of new boats in place of the crafts lost.

On utilisation of subsidy component, the Collector said that bankers had not given consent in time for construction of new boats in the place of boats lost and only Rs.8 lakh had been utilised against Rs.6 crore by March 31. Enquiries revealed that a revised GO had to be released for payment of additional amount of Rs.2 lakh to 38 damaged mechanised boats as per the promise made by Chief Minister.
Vizag Hudhud caused heavy damage to the mechanised and traditional boats which were anchored at the fishing harbour a few days before the cyclone battered the coast. The authorities concerned are being pursued for release of the funds again.
