Heavy Rain Warning Issued for Tamil Nadu Amid Ayudha Puja Market Slowdown
What happened
The India Meteorological Department issued a warning for heavy rain in northern Tamil Nadu as the northeast monsoon began. While the initial catch was rich, prices for sought-after varieties like seer fish were moderate at Kasimedu. However, footfall at the Chintadripet fish market was expected to fall further on Monday due to Ayudha Puja.
