Udupi: The officials of the Indian Meteorologic Department have warned Karnataka fishermen against venturing out into the deep sea between May 31 and June 4.

The Department has said that a depression is expected to occur in the south-eastern part of the Arabian Sea and the nearby areas and it would be dangerous for the fishermen of Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep to go out towards the deep sea.

The Department officials said that they would provide information on the developments in the weather conditions. In the backdrop of the current weather forecast, however, the fishermen in the western coastline are advised against venturing into the sea.

The officials have also suggested that those who have already gone out fishing be asked to return in accordance with the prohibitory orders on fishing before the onset of pre-monsoon showers.
