KOCHI: Once Chinese nets and fishermen catching fish using this traditional gear was a common sight in Eloor situated on the banks of the River Periyar.
Fishery resources from this region used to be a major means of income for thousands of families belonging to this area.
However, effluent discharge and indiscriminate sand mining in this portion of the river has made it almost lifeless.
