India: 120 fishermen went to the sea at 4am (IST) today for the first time after the disaster

The state government of Andhra Pradesh withdrew their warning about fishing in the sea. The fishermen who were restless to get back to work, gathered at 4 am this morning, as they would on any day. 120 of them from the villages of Thippalavalsa, Thammayyapalam and Barripeta of Vizianagaram district, marched into the sea in 30 boats that were repaired in the last two days. Their families await their return late tomorrow afternoon with their first catch after Black Sunday.
