Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: The sea has become rough due to the low pressure. According to the forecast of the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of gusty winds and heavy rain in the sea for the next few days. That is why the administration has ordered fishermen not to go fishing in the deep sea. But many fishermen are forced to ignore the warning to provide two handfuls of food for their families. Because, the loss of daily income means poverty in the family. If you do not go fishing, the pot will not be heated. Food will not be put in the mouths of your children. This time, the trawler met with an accident while fishing. There were 14 fishermen on board.
It is learned that the name of the trawler that met with an accident in the middle of the sea with 14 fishermen is FB Maa Mangalchandi. Fortunately, all the fishermen were rescued alive. 14 fishermen had set off on a trawler from the Ramganga pier in Patharpratima to fish in the deep sea. Due to strong waves in the Bay of Bengal, the bottom of the trawler suddenly opened. FB Ma Mangalchandi quickly started to sink as water entered. At that moment, the fishermen started screaming to save their lives. Hearing the screams, the trawlers nearby rushed to the rescue. 14 people were quickly rescued.
It is to be noted that the administration has repeatedly requested that no one go to sea until the weather normalizes. Because the risk of accidents at sea increases greatly during disasters. Small trawlers or fishing boats can easily face danger. Therefore, it has been requested not to take any risks.
