SCE announces lifting fishing ban of Safi, Shaari, Andag fish
The Supreme Council for the Environment announced that the seasonal fishing ban on spangled Emperor (Shaari), rabbitfish (Safi) and seabream (Andag) fish in the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Bahrain, effective from Saturday, May 31. The ban, which began in early April, forms part of national efforts to protect marine resources and promote their sustainability. The SCE underscored the General Directorate of Marine Resources' commitment to preserving marine biodiversity and regulating fishing activities in line with international environmental standards, to maintain a balance between economic utilisation and long-term sustainability of marine resources. The SCE clarified that the ban was implemented under Edict (2) of 2024 concerning the prohibition of catching Shaari, Safi, and Andag fish. The measure was introduced to safeguard fish stocks and support environmental balance, contributing directly to the rehabilitation of marine ecosystems and ensuring the sustainability of marine resources for future generations. The directorate commended the efforts of partner entities involved in monitoring and enforcement during the ban period and emphasised the importance of continued cooperation with regulatory authorities to achieve the national goals of protecting marine biodiversity and reinforcing the sustainability of marine resources.

Rajasthan reels under intense heatwave, red alert issued in three districts
Rajasthan continues to grapple with an intense heatwave, with large parts of the desert state experiencing scorching temperatures. However, scattered thunderstorms in a few areas have provided some relief from the relentless summer heat. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heatwave conditions are expected to persist in 16 districts on Friday, with no immediate relief in sight. A red alert has been issued for Jaisalmer, Sri Ganganagar, and Bikaner, while thundershowers are forecast in 19 districts, including Jaipur and Kota. On Thursday, Sri Ganganagar recorded the highest maximum temperature at 47.3 degrees Celsius, which is 4.8 degrees above normal. Jodhpur recorded the highest minimum temperature at 31.7 degrees. Seven cities in Rajasthan witnessed temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius, with Ganganagar experiencing the highest temperatures for the second consecutive day, surpassing 47 degrees Celsius again. In contrast, temperatures fell slightly in some regions. In Jaipur, the maximum temperature dropped by 2 degrees Celsius to 42.8 degrees Celsius. In Alwar, the temperature fell by 5 degrees to 40 degrees, in Chittorgarh 42.4 degrees, in Udaipur 38.3 degrees, while Bhilwara recorded 41.5 degrees Celsius. Thursday afternoon thunderstorms brought a shift in weather across Jhalawar, Baran, Bundi, Kota, Chittorgarh, and Bhilwara. Strong winds and rain offered some relief from the scorching heat. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall in the Sadas area of Chittorgarh led to the collapse of a house wall. The tragic incident resulted in the death of Shaari alias Shanti (50), wife of Magana Bhil, and Suraj (7), son of Suresh Bhil. Raju alias Ratan (12), son of Kailash Bhil, was also seriously injured. All victims were rushed to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital in Bhilwara, where doctors declared Shaari and Suraj dead. The weather changed around 5.30 p.m. in Bhilwara with a sudden storm followed by rain. The downpour brought much-needed relief from the intense heat and humidity. However, strong winds also caused trees to fall in several areas, and rain continued in parts of the district into the evening. Shahpura in Bhilwara registered the highest rainfall of 33 mm in the last 24 hours, said officials.
