Udupi: Fisherman who fell off boat while fishing, miraculously rescued after 14 hours
Udupi: A fisherman from Andhra Pradesh, identified as Pukalu Kameya, was rescued alive after he accidentally fell off a boat and stayed afloat for 14 hours in Malpe, Udupi.
According to reports, Kameya fell off the boat while returning with a 35-member fishermen team after their fishing activity. The other fishermen realized that he was missing only after traveling some distance and began to search for him but to no avail.
The matter was later reported to the Coast Guard, and a search operation was launched. Kameya swam for a brief duration and found a fishing net that was laid to catch fish. He used the flag post put up in the net as support to remain afloat and standing until he was rescued.
The net was laid on April 17 at 6 pm, and when the fishermen returned to the spot at 3 am, they found Kameya standing with the support of the flag post. He was then pulled out from the water and rescued.
Kameya was admitted to the Ajjarkad district hospital by Eshwar Malpe due to some health issues he faced but has since recovered and been discharged from the hospital. This incident highlights the importance of proper safety measures and precautions while engaging in fishing activities.

Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.

"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
