The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) has rescued five fishermen from a partially submerged boat off the Gujarat coast in Devbhumi Dwarka district, an official said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The operation was carried out on the intervening night of August 2 and 3 near the Okha port.<\/p>\n
“At about 12:45 am on August 3, the Indian Coast Guard District Headquarters at Okha received information regarding uncontrolled flooding onboard Indian Fishing Boat ‘Raj Ayushi’ nearly 10 nautical miles off the Okha port,” said a release issued by the Defence PRO office in Gujarat.<\/p>\n
The ICG dispatched its fast interceptor class of ship, C-413. Some vessels sailing in the vicinity of the distressed fishing boat were also alerted by the ICG to assist when needed, the release said.<\/p>\n
“When the ICG ship reached the spot, the fishing boat was partially submerged due to heavy flooding. At around 02:15 am, all the five crew members were rescued and were taken onboard the ICG ship,” the ICG said, adding that the rescued men were brought to Okha safely.<\/p>\n
Using a submersible pump, the Coast Guard personnel also managed to control the flooding and brought the boat to Okha, the release added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[178],"tags":[],"region":[],"source":[9382],"country":[9149],"state":[],"city":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/96675"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/newss"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/96675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96676,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newss\/96675\/revisions\/96676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/source?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=96675"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icsf.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=96675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
