Karachi Commissioner Syed Hasan Naqvi on Thursday slapped a ban on fishing and bathing in the sea amid an expected cyclone threat in the Arabian Sea. According to directives issued from the Karachi commissioner’s office, fishermen have been advised to avoid fishing in open sea till August 31, while swimming and bathing in the sea is also banned. The development comes after the Met Office issued alert about the deep depression over the coastal belt of Sindh turning into a cyclonic storm during next 24 hours.
