Maharashtra Today03 Aug, 2020News

Ratnagiri: Fisheries in the Konkan are on the back foot due to the ongoing Shravan month against the backdrop of the Coronavirus epidemic, tense situation in India and China, and declining demand in the Mumbai market. Boat owners are worried as the annual fishing season on August 1 has been missed this year. Government restrictions on marine fishing have been lifted on the night of July 31st. Therefore, fishing has been allowed from August 1. However, the majority of fishermen in the Konkan, who are facing various difficulties, did not sink their boats in the sea on the first day. The global corona crisis and the Sino-Indian conflict have hit Konkan fishing hard.
