Vishakhapatnam 24 April. A boat carrying 20 people capsized near
the Vishakhapatnam coast. The weather suddenly changed and strong winds started
blowing. The boatmen were not prepared for the sudden gust of storm. Even
though they made best efforts to get back to the land, the boat could not
return. There were 5 women and 5 children in the boat. Though the men tried to
save all of them, 2 children suffered badly. The rescue team reached there in
time to save the women and children, but the 2 children had swallowed too much
water. They were rushed to the hospital. The government has offered to
reimburse for their loss and to bear all the expenses for the treatment of the
2 children.
