Fish could be in short supply yet again, with the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) on Thursday cautioning fishermen not to venture into sea on account of very rough weather predicted by the Indian Meteorological Department.
Speaking to the media, MPT Dy Conservator Captain Manoj Joshi said the Indian Meteorological Department had issued a warning to fishermen of South Maharshtra and Goa coastal areas for 24 hours from Thursday.
Capt Joshi said the winds would be westerly or southwesterly and could attain a speed of 40-45 kms per hour and could even temporarily reach 50 kms per hour at intervals.
“The sea will be rough to very rough with the westerly to southwesterly waves. Fishermen are advised not to go to out in the sea off the Maharashtra coast and east central Arabian Sea. Fishermen are also advised not to venture in the sea during the next five days,” said Capt Joshi.
