Captain Manivannan said that sea ambulances were being demanded by the fishing community for a time long and will arrive soon.

He also asked the officials to periodically check the CCTV cameras installed in the harbours and upgrade them with new advanced ones if required.
The Secretary also asked the Coastal Security Police to frame guidelines for regulating and registering visitors and workers at the harbours as more than 10,000 of them from neighbouring States and districts visit the harbours every day.
He also asked the Animal Husbandry Department to identify places in the district for opening gaushalas.
Deputy Commissioner G Jagadeesha, Zilla panchayat Chief Executive Officer Y Naveen Bhat, Superintendent of Police N Vishnuvardhan, Coastal Security Police SP R Chethan and others were present in the meeting.
