The Coast Guard Wednesday rescued
a 41-year-old fisherman eight hours after he accidentally fell
into the sea.
Devrajan, a crew member of an Indian fishing boat RR,
was rescued by Coast Guard vessel Vaibhav around 7.30 am
Wednesday, a CG release said.
The CG ship found and rescued Devrajan, 41, who had
been in the water for nearly 8 hours, the statement said,
adding that first aid was given by a medical team on board
Vaibhav.
His condition is stated to be stable.
Devrajan was handed over to fisheries officials at
Taruvaikkulam (near Thoothukudi).
The release said the CG received a call for help from
the fishing boat which was about 60 km southeast of Pamban
Light at about 11.30 pm Tuesday.
'Vaibhav' on patrol in the Gulf of Mannar immediately
set course and commenced search operations, the release added.
