An alert lifeguard saved two tourists from drowning at the famed Radhanagar beach in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, officials said on Sunday.

A father-son duo from Mumbai was on a trip to the islands, they said.

While bathing at the Radhanagar beach in Havelock Island in South Andaman district, they were caught in a current and started to drown. Noticing this, an alert lifeguard jumped into the waters and brought them out, officials said.
