Trawling ban ends Tuesday.

Thiruvananthapuram: The 47-day trawling ban imposed for monsoon season will end Tuesday. Around 5000 boats will set out for fishing in outer sea by midnight Tuesday.

However, most of the fishermen have expressed their apprehension over whether the lack of monsoon rain will affect fishing.

The fishermen have completed the patch work of their nets and are ready to set sail. They have also stored food for up to a fortnight period in their boats..
