Kendrapara, Aug 7 (UNI) As many as 12 fishermen had a close shave from taking a watery grave on Tuesday in the sea as other fishermen came to their rescue when the fibre fishing boats they were fishing turned turtle due to heavy rains and gusty wind.
According to sources, 12 fishermen, including the owner of the boats, from Bobangadiha village under Suniti GP went to the sea in three fibreglass boats on Tuesday to catch fish in the Bay of Bengal.
While they were catching fish near Madali Mouth, their boats tilted and turned turtles due to heavy rain and gusty wind in the sea.
