Kozhikode: The state government’s much-touted proposal to establish ‘Marine Ambulance’ in major fishing centres in the state to help fishermen in adverse situations has failed to take off owing to various reasons.\r\nThe proposal to establish ‘Marine Ambulance’ in five centres at Vizhinjam, Neendakara, Vypeen, Beypore and Azheekkal was made in the state budget for 2013-14 with a budget allocation of `3 crore, but not a single vessel has hit the seas more than a year after it was mooted. |
