✦AI Summary
Artisanal fishers in Thiruvananthapuram are struggling to access the sea following the partial collapse of the historic Valiyathura Pier. The structure, which served as a vital launch point for local fishermen, remains unrepaired, forcing them to travel to distant locations to work.
Under the overcast monsoon skies over the Valiyathura beach, in Thiruvananthapuram , the morning bustle is slightly subdued at the fish market. Hawkers are perched under colourful umbrellas, selling the limited catch, carelessly placed on soiled slabs of ice – a few metres away from the fishing boats docked at the shore.
