With monsoon round the corner, Kutch district administration today issued an advisory for the fishermen, asking them not to venture into the sea till August 15 starting tomorrow. Those violating the order will be punished under IPC section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), it said. "The sea becomes rough during the monsoon, due to which it becomes very dangerous to venture into it," Kutch collector Remya Mohan said in the advisory.
