Kasimedu Harbour Lacks Hygiene, Affecting Fish Exports

The Hindu · india

Exporters are avoiding Kasimedu fishing harbour due to severe lack of cleanliness and hygiene. Recent social media videos showed maggots on fish waste, highlighting poor waste management and drainage systems. Fishermen report being forced to sell catches at lower prices because of the unhygienic conditions. Despite complaints to authorities like the Chennai Port's harbour management committee, no action has been taken. The harbour's poor state impacts the local fishing industry significantly.
