In a petition submitted to District Collector R. Sukumar along with Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker and their MLA M. Appavu on Saturday, the representatives of the aggrieved families said the State Government should take immediate measures to bring back safely the 36 fishermen from Uvari, who had gone to Iran via Dubai to work as fishermen in the Iranian fishing trawlers. 'As their families cannot contact them since last Tuesday, they are very much worried. Hence, these families are now seeking the State Government's intervention to bring back their family members safely,' said S.V. Antony, former panchayat president of Uvari. The Speaker said fishermen from the coastal hamlets of the district such as Uvari, Koottapuli, Idinthakarai, Kooththenkuzhi, Kooduthaazhai, Kottapanai, Michael Nagar and George Nagar were working in the fishing trawlers of Gulf countries.
