#travelwithgdp Fact: Fishermen in Rameswaram city took up repair work of boats utilizing the 61-day fishing ban period imposed by the state government. Every year, a ban for 61-days is enforced on fishing by the state authorities from April 15 to May 29 during the breeding season of fishes to conserve fish stock in the sea. Fishermen in the region said on Sunday that during the ban period they work on their boats and complete the repair works patiently because when the ban period ends after the breeding season, they get a rich catch. However, the ban also causes difficulties for the fishermen community, which has to manage on a lowly income during the period of inactivity.
