Udupi, Jan 31: As a ray of hope, it is said that the mobile phones of two fishermen among seven who were missing in the sea and disconnected from the outside world while fishing in the deep sea, rang twice, but when tried again, they were not reachable. It was almost 45 days that the fishermen were missing, but the phone ringing triggered hope among their family members. It was not once, the phones rang twice.
But the police denied such development. They said that there was not technical evidence to prove it. They have already verified it and found it was a fake news.
When Malpe Fishermen Association secretary Gopal RK, he said that they have also got such message, but it was not justified. Everything was rumour. So they could not confirm it, he said.
According to a report from Uttara Kannada, daughter of Lakshman of Kumta called his father over mobile on Wednesday at 7.30 pm and then the phone rang. When she called once again, it was not reachable. " I only called Ravi Manley alias Pandu of Bhatkal. Then it was ringing.
Later I got the message that the incoming calls are restricted" said Pandu Mogera, father-in-law of Harish who is also missing. "I tried to call the same number on Thursday morning at 8 and it was ringing. We have brought this into the notice of Karwar DySP, Coast Guard and Uttara Kannada fishermen leaders", he said.
Protest within week
We have warned union minister Ananth Kumar Hegde that we will start our protest if the missing fishermen were not traced by Jan 26. No one has taken the missing of seven fishermen seriously. Condemning this negligent attitude, fishermen in Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada districts would intensify their protest, Pandu Mogera said.
