  "account": "Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, 27/10/2026: Cyclone 'Arnab' has forced Thoothukudi fishermen to remain ashore, avoiding the sea due to hazardous conditions. The India Meteorological Department had issued a warning about the rough seas expected in the Bay of Bengal. Fishermen operating mechanized boats involved in deep sea fishing were instructed to return to shore immediately. Fishermen who usually operate from Thoothukudi Fishing Harbour did not venture into the sea on both Tuesday and the previous day, Monday, as the weather conditions remained unfavorable. Only a handful of fishermen from Terespuram and New Harbour Beach attempted to fish using country boats in areas nearer to the shore. They managed to bring in a small catch, including sardines, trevally, and white snapper, after several hours of dragging the shore net.",
