    Taranat Serigar may your soul rest in eternal peace and give comfort to your beloved wife and the bereaved family and friends. These guys took the wrong time to go fishing near Udyavar. At this time the weather is not predicable due to the monsoon season. Many many years back I used to go fishing in the same Udyavar river but we were caught in some strong under water currents but we were safe and we did have a good catch. God only saved us. I still remember the incident though I am in New York with my family and I visit India as much as I can. My advice is please do not go fishing or deep sea fishing when the the the weather is bad.
