K-Rauda's merchant challenged Imatra companies to obtain fishing permits for Vuokse

If necessary, the city of Imatra will forward permits to Ukrainian refugees if the companies join the challenge.

Local Utisvuoksi told about Oleksandr Abramenko, a Ukrainian fleeing the war, who stated in an interview that he would be interested in fishing in Vuo, but he cannot afford to get permits.

Imatralainen hardware store, K-Iron, merchant Kimmo Ihalainen took up the matter and bought it for Abramenko the state fishing license and the Vuoksi fishing license issued by the city of Imatra, which is needed for fishing in Vuok in addition to the state fishing license.

Ihalainen immediately bought three company licenses for fishing in Vuo, one for Abramenko and two for his employees. The business license is not personal, so you may lend it to others.

Permits can be obtained from the customer service of the city of Imatra and Vuoksi fishing park

If the companies from Imatra take up the challenge thrown by Ihalainen, the city of Imatra offers to pass on permits to Ukrainians fleeing the war in Imatra.

- If a company wants to participate in the challenge, but is unable to pass on a permit to someone who needs it, it can be obtained and left to be picked up at the city's customer service. We will then inform the Ukrainian refugees of Imatra if permits appear to be distributed, kseparates the city of Imatra participation coordinator Heikki Laine.

A business license costs 85 euros per person and a state fishing license costs 47 euros. The customer service of the city of Imatra is open all summer.
