Hyderabad: Animal husbandry and fisheries minister, Talasani Srinivas Yadav today disclosed that the KCR Government will soon give Ex-gratia to deceased fishermen in the state.
He said that the KCR government is committed to the development of Gangaputras and other communities in Telangana. We will soon announce the financial support to the kin of the deceased fisherman or Gangaputras community he revealed. He greeted a new JAC of the executive body of the Gangaputras association headed by Chairman D, Mallaiah, and others.
Mallaiah and his team called on the minister and submitted a memorandum on their issues to the minister at his office in the city here.
On the occasion, the minister asked them to form a committee and give representation to the KCR government to address. Srinivas Yadav assured of resolving their problems. He asked them to offer membership and benefits of the society to only the Gangaputra community. The government will support and encourage the Gangaputra community for the welfare of the members, the minister said.
The previous Congress government neglected these communities in undivided AP state, while in our own state KCR government he claimed. The Chief Minister has asked to help the fisherman community as the government has taken up the free fish programs, subsidy vehicles, setting up markets, the minister said. He also said that the KCR government has been kind enough as it offers adequate funds for the welfare of the poor communities in our state.
We offer needed financial support for vehicles, trolleys, and small bikes for Gangaputra community percent to do their business.

The Gangaputra community members are entitled to get rights as per norms for fishing and sale and marketing, as usual, the minister said.
