Voice of America
Indian navy ships Wednesday recovered the bodies of 22 people who died aboard a barge that sank off the coast of Mumbai late Monday, a navy spokesman said.
Spokesman Mehul Karnik said the search continues for 55 more people who disappeared after Cyclone Tauktae, the most powerful storm to strike the area in more than two decades, swept through Gujarat state, killing more than 50 people in Gujarat and Maharashtra states. Karnik also said 184 people had been rescued by ships and helicopters from seven meter high waves. The barge had 261 people on board when it sank as the storm hit the Bombay High oil field near Mumbai, killing 14 people.More Related News
