The much-awaited conclusion of the two-month monsoon fishing ban on July 31 has heralded a vibrant resurgence in the local fishing industry. Fishermen hailing from the coastal districts have been reveling in their successful hauls. These catches, now available at reasonable rates, are delighting the palates of fish aficionados across the region.
The enthusiastic return of fishermen to the open waters from August 1 has witnessed the arrival of their cherished catch at the historic Old Port, affectionately known as Bunder in the local lexicon. After a prolonged hiatus necessitated by the annual monsoon fishing ban, the bustling activity at the port signifies a revival of a time-honored tradition and a vibrant industry.
While concerns loomed over the inclement weather conditions that could potentially disrupt fishing activities, the tides have turned in favor of the fishermen as August has unveiled a stretch of clear skies and tranquil waters. These favorable conditions have translated into a robust catch, putting smiles on the faces of those who depend on the sea for their livelihood. The conclusion of the monsoon fishing ban not only brings economic relief to the fishing community but also a sense of rejuvenation to the coastal districts.
