Karnataka announces 61-day monsoon fishing ban from June 1
The Karnataka government has enforced a 61-day ban on mechanised fishing along the state's coast, effective from June 1 to July 31, to safeguard marine life during the monsoon and aid fish reproduction. This prohibition applies to mechanised boats and traditional vessels with engines exceeding 10 HP, while smaller boats are exempt. Violators face penalties, including diesel subsidy disqualification.
