Open-sea fishing has resumed in Maharashtra, with a 12-nautical mile coastal ban remaining in place. The ban will continue until August 15.
The Maharashtra government has allowed open-sea fishing to resume, providing relief to fishermen in the state. However, a 12-nautical mile coastal ban will remain in effect until August 15. This decision is expected to impact the fishing industry in the state. Fishermen can now venture into the open sea, but they must adhere to the coastal ban. The ban is likely to affect fishing activities near the coast.
