Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh Fishermen Agree on GPS Demarcation for Pulicat Lake
Fishermen from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have agreed to replace traditional boundary markers in Pulicat Lake with a GPS-based system to resolve long-standing fishing disputes. Representatives from 25 fishing hamlets and officials from both states met to discuss implementing permanent GPS tracking for clear inter-state fishing zones. The move follows central government efforts, including a Rs 133.11 crore project to stabilize the Rayadoruvu sea mouth, addressing declining aquatic resources that fuel conflicts. Authorities will maintain current fishing practices until formal GPS demarcation is established.
