He said applications will be received till March 13 beginning today.
Answering a question, Stalin said he will visit tomorrow the family of a young fisherman in Rameswaram who lost his life in the alleged firing by Sri Lankan Navy recently and added that his party MPs have raised problems faced by fishermen in Parliament today.
