KARACHI: Thousands of fishermen who live and work along Sindh’s coastal belt were allowed to go for deep sea fishing on Sunday morning after the provincial government lifted a ban it had implemented on October 30 as a precautionary measure. According to the Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF) there are over 600,000 fishermen in Sindh who were limited to fishing on the beach due to Cyclone Nilofar. The fishermen of Karachi, Thatta, Sujawal and Badin, have started going into the sea and said that their catch has not been disturbed by the roughness of the sea.
