December 30, 2015 12:56
After three days of downpour, people in the coastal areas of Ramanathapuram, Tuticorin and other southern districts today heaved a sigh of relief as the rains abated.
Officials said there was no rain and fishermen from coastal areas, especially Ramanathapuram, Kanyakumari and Tuticorin, put to sea in their mechanised boats. Fisheries department Assistant director Gopinath said many fishermen, who did not venture into the sea for more than three days, resumed fishing today.
Officials said it may rain in some areas in these districts as the sky was overcast. Water has started receding from inundated localities and corporation workers were engaged in the task of clearing garbage and draining water from these areas, they added.
