Photo: PTIChennai: More than 10 days after cyclone Ockhi hit the southern coast of India, confusion prevails over the fate of the stranded Tamil Nadu fishermen. Fisherfolk across the Kanyakumari district in the state have continued their protests over the last one week. However, as many as 623 fishermen from Kanyakumari district are yet to be traced, said collector Sajjan Singh R. Chavan on Sunday. The fishermen who were out at sea when Cyclone Ockhi had struck, were recalled and issued repeated warnings. The state government issued the cyclone warning on 29 November evening—by then the cyclone had already hit the coast.
