Owners of ‘Ajmir Sha’, a fishing boat from Beypore which went missing two weeks ago with 15 migrant workers in the sea, have expressed rude shock over the yet-to-be successful rescue operation by various forces. They fear that any further delay in launching an extensive air-sea rescue operation off the Northern part of the West Coast will affect the remaining possibility of saving many lives. “It was an unverified message about the missing boat that affected the whole pace of the real rescue operation. Those who circulated the message as confirmed reports in the media on May 16 had claimed that the boat had already been spotted by the rescue operators and efforts were on to tow it to the shore,” K.T. Shamsudheen, one of the boat owners told The Hindu. According to him, the message endorsed by a few responsible officers was later found wrong when they contacted the Fisheries Department for follow up actions.More Related News
