Kolkata, Jul 7 (IBNS): In yet another challenging operation, the Indian Coast Guard has swiftly rescued eight people off Odisha coast from stranded on Fishing Boat Yohana Devudu.

As per  information received, the boat owner lost contact since Jun 26 while the boat ventured into sea on Jun 21 for fishing.

In this regard, Assistant Director Fisheries, Kakinda intimated the Indian Coast Guard on Jul 5 to locate the missing boat with non-operational engine and rudder.

Maritime Rescue Sub Centre, Paradip on receipt of information immediately sailed out ICGS Sarojini Naidu on Saturday with dispatch to assist the boat in distress in coordination with Coast Guard Dornier in a sea-air coordinated operation.

The ship arrived at 1700 hrs on Saturday and established communication with the boat master. Subsequently, the distressed boat was provided with food and potable water along with medicines.

As the prevailing weather/sea condition was non-conducive accompanied by heavy swell and strong winds, ICGS Sarojini Naidu commenced towing operation at 1810 Hrs on Saturday to ensure safety of eight crew.

The ship safely brought the IFB under tow off Paradip and entered Paradip Harbour at 0715 hrs on Sunday.

On arrival, all the fishers were medically examined and reported to be in healthy condition.
