Marine Police Warn Fishermen as Low-Pressure System Approaches Coast
Marine police told fishermen to stay out of the sea for three to four days.
A low-pressure weather system may form over the North Andaman Sea.
It may move toward the coasts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
The system could become stronger and make the sea rough.
Fishermen who are already at sea should return to safety as soon as possible.
They should only go fishing again after officials say the weather is normal.
The police said protecting fishermen and their families is more important than fishing during the warning.
The advice is meant to help everyone stay safe.
Marine police advised fishermen not to venture into the sea for the next three to four days.
A low-pressure area is likely to form over the North Andaman Sea and adjoining regions.
The system is expected to move toward the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast.
Officials said the system could intensify and cause rough sea conditions.
Fishermen already at sea were urged to return to a safe harbour or the coast and await official updates.
