Dangerous Fishing Continues at Ramanujganj Anicuts Despite DeathSaralnama

6 gates of the Kanhar River anicuts in Ramanujganj have become a dangerous fishing spot. Despite a recent youth's drowning death, locals continue to fish recklessly without safety gear. They use mosquito nets and plastic nets in deep, fast-flowing water below the gates. Villagers report insufficient warning signs and patrols by authorities. After the accident, the administration issued warnings, but these have had little effect. Residents demand stricter safety measures and an immediate ban on such life-threatening fishing methods to prevent future accidents. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 18:36 IST; source: link)
