Chennai: May 13: Tamil Nadu fisheries department is trying to alert around 2,500 fishers out in the Arabian sea about a depression which may intensify into Cyclone Tauktae. The Tamil Nadu fisheries department state Commissioner J. Jayakanthan told IANS: “Most of the fishermen are from the western coast of Kanyakumari since the annual fishing ban is in effect in eastern coast.” Fishing officials said that while only 84 vessels have gone into the sea from Thengapattanam coast, 150 fishing boats of Kanyakumari have ventured into the sea from Kerala coast. The department is trying to contact them over the satellite phones provided to them by the state government as they move in clusters on high sea.
