Deccan Chronicle  

ALAPPUZHA: With the trawling ban in force concerns of fishers here loom large over the elusive Chakara. Even after monsoon stirred the sea, the fisherfolks say there is no sign of the mudbank so far this year, unlike past. Joy C. Kambakkaran, a leader with All India Matsya Thozhilali Federation, says the sea so far has shown no sign of Chakara. During the 60s and 70s, Purakad was the area where the sea usually create mud bar during monsoon and fishers across the district would gather here to celebrate Chakara. Studies, however, carried out by the National Institute of Oceanogra-phy say Chakara is resident of fluid mud driven by the monsoon.
