Around 1200 boats were parked on the shore following the ban. More than 5,000 fishermen were waiting for the wind to drop.
A fisherman, Nagarajan, told ANI, "We do not know the exact speed of the wind in the sea. Then there is the Sri Lankan Navy which we feel might create a problem for us. We do not have any option but to sail further."
