Rameswaram: The fishermen in Rameswaram today launched an indefinite strike protesting the fish traders forming a "cartel" and quoting very low price for their catch.
Rameswaram Fishermen's Association President Emerit told PTI that in no other state the traders quoted such a low price for the fish nor did they form a cartel like in Tamil Nadu.
He alleged four fish trading companies formed a cartel and they did not allow others to participate in the auction.
He wanted the government to intervene and break the cartel and provide cold storage facility.
However, they refused to compare with the prices prevailing in Kerala and Karnataka
