'Suvarna Tribhuja' could not be traced even after a month: Investigative progress zero
Udupi, Jan 14: It will be a month, on January 15, since the 'Suvarna Tribhuja' boat, from Malpe with seven fishermen onboard, went missing off the Goa coast.
The boat, with seven fishers, including Chandrashekhar Kotian, had left the Malpe fisheries harbour along with about 20 boats for fishing in the deep seas on December 13.
The last communication from it was at 1 a.m. on December 15 when it was in touch with another fishing boat, Vasudeva. As no contact could be made with Suvarna Tribhuja from 5.30 a.m. onwards on December 15, the remaining boats sent wireless messages to other boats. Following which, Nityananda, brother of the missing boat's owner Chandrashekhar Kotian, lodged a complaint with the Malpe police.
Since then, the coastal security, district police, coast guard are making efforts to trace the missing fishermen in Karnataka, Goa, Kerala and Maharashtra. But, they could not gather any clue yet.
