After annual ban ends, fishermen return to shores, but claim poor catch

Returning to the shores, a majority of the mechanised boat fishermen have claimed to have got very little catch here on Thursday.

After the annual fishing ban ended, the fishermen from the coastal hamlets had ventured into the sea on Tuesday night and returned in the early hours on Thursday. Though the markets were flooded with the catch and crowds thronged to buy them, fishermen leader Jesu Raja said that the catch was not very encouraging.
