Purba Medinipur (West Bengal) [India], May 25 (ANI): The emergence of Cyclone Yaas has cast a shadow on the livelihood of fishermen in Digha in West Bengal.
After the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for cyclonic storm Yaas, the fishermen from the Digha or the Mohana area of Purba Medinipur are worried about their livings.
Mohana is the hub of fisheries, which has been completely shut down due to the warning. Fishermen are now busy tying up their trollers, which are used to catch fishes so that during the storm their trollers do not sink. These trollers are their lifeline for survival.
