Fishermen on outskirts of Jharkhand’s booming capital have deviced an innovative yet-dangerous way to earn their livelihood. Using live electricity wires, fishermen rely on current generated once these wires are sunk in water to draw out fishes.
Once a shock is generated in water by these wires, fishes are forced on surface by the intensity. A team of fishermen, present near the bank, catches them as soon fishes are spotted.
While it is a traumatic experience for fishes, fishermen revealed that they have to be extremely cautious to not to touch the water.
It is learnt that a fisherman died as he accidently slipped into the water while fishing.
Locals expressed disappointment with authorities that such irresponsible activities are being allowed to take place in the vicinity, also complaining that there have been cases of fishermen breaking the pole wires thus affecting power situation in the place.
