Stormy weather hits fishing in Tamil Nadu

India Dec 10, 2025

Fishermen in Ramanathapuram district, including spots like Rameswaram and Mandapam, skipped heading out to sea on Wednesday thanks to rough weather.
With the IMD warning about strong winds (up to 50km/h) and big waves, officials told everyone to stay safe on land and keep their gear protected for now.

Fishing paused across the coast

Fishing operations are officially on hold across major harbors—no permission tokens are being issued until things calm down.
Rainfall has varied across the district too, with Mandapam seeing the most.
All these steps aim to keep local fishing communities out of harm's way while the weather sorts itself out.
