India: 'The fishing community of M.G.R. Thittu near here netted a substantial catch on Friday, the first day of going to sea after the tsunami struck last December. Many of the fishermen had abandoned their houses after the giant waves struck their hamlet. The Collector, Gagandeep Singh Bedi, inaugurated the fishing expedition in which 22 boats donated by the Evangelical Fellowship of India Commission on Relief (EFICOR), set sail. The EFICOR general director, Dino L. Touthang, and the project director, David Chandran, were also present. By afternoon, the fishermen returned with huge catch of "Perum Parai" fish that was expected to fetch Rs. 1 lakh in the market. Each fish weighed between 10 to 20 kg. The fishermen said the size of the catch had instilled confidence that it was safe to go back to the sea.' (The Hindu)
