The use of ring nets in the coastal waters in the district has been banned, pending further orders, according to the Joint Director of Fisheries K. Phani Prakash.
The ban has been necessitated due to frequent disputes between the fishermen of Kotha Jalaripeta and those of Jalari Endada, Uppada and Mangamaripeta on the use of ring nets. The Kotha Jalaripeta fishermen had complained to the Fisheries Department that the use of ring was resulting in the depletion of fish resources close to the coast and near the Fishing Harbour.
