Six fishermen rescued after fishing boat capsizes off Surathkal coast

On Monday morning, a fishing vessel named "Kaveri" capsized off the Surathkal coastline near Mangalore, prompting an immediate rescue operation by local marine authorities.

Surathkal, a coastal town in Udupi district, is a busy fishing hub where many fishermen ply small boats during the monsoon season. The capsizing occurred around 9 a.m. while the crew was traveling from Surathkal to a nearby harbor.

All six crew members were retrieved safely and brought to a nearby medical centre where they received first aid. The incident has raised concerns about maritime safety regulations and the need for better weather monitoring. Source: Google News – Udupi.
