Relatives protested and demanded that rescue operations for fishermen, who went missing in the rough sea, are intensified. PTI

The death toll due to the cyclone has now risen to 13. The Kerala government decided to urge the Centre to declare Cyclone Ockhi, which left a trail of destruction in the state, as a national calamity. Police vigil in the beach during Ockhi cyclone alert in Kozhikode. PTI

Though many fishermen were brought ashore safely and admitted to hospitals after facing the cyclone, many are yet to recover from the shock of wrestling the lashing waves. Titus, a fisherman hailing from Kollam, said he had never seen such a violent sea even in movies. PTI

Fishermen, tourists and coastal population have been advised not to venture into the sea for the next 48 hours as the sea conditions are likely to be non-conducive due to the effect of cyclone Ockhi.
