Iranamadu Tank in Kilinochchi, the largest inland lake in the Northern Province is set to be one of the fresh water fishing hubs soon with the distribution of 50 fishing canoes among resettled civilians in the area.

Under the ongoing ‘Uthuru Wasanthaya’ (Northern Spring) development programme, those fishing canoes were given during a ceremony held recently.

Those fifty canoes which are to be used for fishing in the Iranamadu Tank will enable a number of resettled civilians in the area to uplift their livelihood while raising their income levels.
