Fishing boat from Malpe damaged by strong waves near Bhatkal
Bhatkal: A fishing boat from Malpe was severely damaged after hitting rocks off the coast near Bhatkal due to intense waves in the Arabian Sea.
The boat, which was caught in strong waves, had its fishing net entangled in its wing, preventing it from moving forward. As a result, the boat was at risk of sinking.
Efforts to save the boat involved tying it to another fishing boat from Bhatkal and towing it towards Gundy Harbour. However, the strong waves caused the ropes to break, and the boat eventually crashed into the rocks along the shore. The boat has reportedly sustained significant damage.
