Lifesavers Rescue Thirteen Fishermen After Boat Capsizes Off Colva Beach
Colva : Thirteen fishermen, aged between 25 and 50 years, were rescued off Colva beach by Drishti Marine lifesavers on Monday morning.
The rescue was undertaken after a fishing boat carrying the 13 fishermen capsized 70 metres away from the Covla coastline, resulting in the fishermen being tossed into the rough sea. All of the fishermen hailed from Andhra Pradesh. The incident occurred at 10:15 am.
On spotting their distress, eight on-duty Drishti Marine lifesavers rushed to the aid of the struggling fishermen using surfboards, a rescue tube and two jet skis. In the course of the multiple rescue operation, a jet ski operator sustained a nasal bone injury and has been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
All the 13 rescued fishermen were brought safely to the shore and their health parameters were checked, before they were allowed to depart.
