Efforts on to locate 8 missing fishermen
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday said efforts were on to locate eight fishermen of Kanyakumari district who were reported missing during the cyclone last week.
Describing reports in a section of the press relating to the number of those missing as contrary to truth, the Fisheries Department said it was usual for fishermen from various villages of the district to go to Kerala, Karnataka, Goa and Gujarat during the fishing season, stay there for months together, go on deep-sea fishing in the Arabian Sea and return home.
This year also fishermen did the same. On receipt of information that some fishermen were affected in the cyclone last week, the government conducted enquiries in Kanyakumari district and took necessary measures. It was revealed that 327 fishing boats from eight villages had gone to the other States.
