With south-west monsoon intensifying in the district and with a heavy westerly wind blowing in, Collector M. Aravind has urged the fishermen going for daily and deep-sea fishing to carry safety gears and communication equipment, without fail to ensure their safety in the event of adverse situations in the high seas. After inspecting the Chinna Muttom fishing harbour here on Friday, Mr. Aravind said that the fishermen while venturing into the sea for fishing should pay more attention to the safety aspects mandated by the government. Besides carrying all safety gadgets prescribed by the Department of Fisheries, they should be in possession of communication gadgets while fishing in deep sea.
