Berhampur: Odisha provided shelter to over 100 fishermen from Andhra Pradesh on Monday after they returned from deep sea operations ahead of the impending landfall of cyclonic storm ‘Montha’.

These fishermen have been provided shelter in Ganjam district in view of the adverse weather conditions caused by cyclone Montha. They will be sent to their home state after the situation becomes normal, Ganjam Collector Keerthi Vassan V said.
