Fisherfolk at Talawila in Marawila yesterday staged a protest against the fuel price hike. They said the increase of fuel prices would seriously affect the fisheries industry.
They pointed out that the additional cost of diesel and kerosene would further burden the fisherfolk who were already facing hardship due to the high cost of living.
They requested the government to provide a fuel subsidy or any other relief to save them from the predicament.
They launched the protest strictly adhering to quarantine regulations.
