fishing villages

Shakhti Vel, a fisherman from Tamil Nadu, runs a YouTube channel called Thoothukudi Meenavan to vlog about the lives and struggles of his community.

While the Cyclone named ‘Ockhi’ meaning ‘eye’ in Bengali may have brought out several brave rescue stories in the last few days, the fact that till date there is no set mechanism to track fishermen stranded in the sea is what needs to be addressed.

With its motto of 'Art for All', the Start Urban Art Festival for Sassoon Dock Art Project kickstarted on November 11 and will run until December 30, 2017.
