Fishermen along Karnataka's coast have resumed operations after the government lifted the two-month monsoon fishing ban that had been in effect since early June.
The two‑month fishing ban that had been imposed across Karnataka's coastline during the monsoon season has been lifted, allowing fishermen to return to their boats.
The ban, which began in early June, was intended to protect marine life and reduce accidents caused by rough seas.
Local authorities say that the decision comes after a series of successful safety drills and a decline in storm activity.
Fishermen in Mangalore and surrounding districts are expected to resume their usual catch, boosting the regional seafood market.
