Fishermen warned not to go to sea in Pudukkottai district due to weather system
Pudukkottai fisheries department has barred fishermen from going to sea until further notice because of a weather system bringing thunderstorms and strong winds.
The meteorological office has issued a warning about a low-pressure system causing thunderstorms and lightning, with expected winds of 40–50 km/h. The Pudukkottai fisheries department has advised fishermen not to venture into the sea until further notice.
Some trawlers and local fishing boats did not go out to sea. Several landing centers reported no fishing activity after the advisory; the fisheries department said the ban remains in effect until a fresh bulletin is issued.
