The district administration on Friday handed over four-wheelers, three-wheelers and two-wheelers with ice box facility to at least 16 beneficiaries under the chief minister’s fisheries distribution scheme.
Katihar DM Kanwal Tanuj, who handed over the vehicles to 16 beneficiaries, said the move was aimed at promoting pisciculture and fish trade in the district. Several officials from the fisheries and other departments were present at the function.
District fisheries officer Shambhu Prasad Nayak said 90% subsidy was provided to the beneficiaries by the state’s fisheries directorate for availing the scheme.
