Children enjoy fishing in Coimbatore

As heavy rain lashes the district, all the water bodies are brimming with water. Across the district, children are found playing and fishing in the water. Due to the continuous rainfall in Western Ghats, the Noyyal river is overflowing, and almost all the water bodies are filled with water. 
Playing in water has become a joyful activity for children. Many of them were found playing and fishing on the banks of Noyyal river at the Athupalam Sunnambu canal. They are using small nets for fishing, which is a rare sight in the city. 
However, activists and officials have been insisting parents not to allow children near water bodies since they are prone to flooding.
