Barely hours after Hudhud made landfall close to Visakhapatnam, fishing operations resumed in parts of Krishna district on Monday. The fishing activity along the coast of Andhra Pradesh has come to a standstill since the weathermen alerted about the storm.

Spared by the Hudhud without any damage to crops or fishing materials, fishermen in few locations including Nagayalanka on Monday returned to the sea, via backwaters of Krishna near the latter’s confluence point.

However, the Gilakaladindi harbour authorities have announced warning number three on Monday, suspending fishing activity.

Speaking to The Hindu , Gilakaladindi fishermen said that they were gearing up for fishing from Tuesday. “Hudhud had no impact on Krishna district including the strategic coastline. We have no reports of damage of standing paddy fields or fishing material,” Hudhud In-charge of Machilipatnam coast A. Varaprasada Rao told The Hindu . However, a field level team was roped in by the government to stay in the villages to register any damage claimed by the local communities.
