Very sad three people are gone missing is bad to digest.In this rainy season usually arenot suppose to go to see without any warn weste in a small boat.One shouldnt leave on their experience in a wild see.Respect the see water and go only with warn weste.That makes the people who go search makes easier.Pray they will be found.

This is real sad, hope this missing youths are found soon. This pandemics is forcing youths to go for dangerous ventures during rainy seasons as there is no jobs and nothing to earn for them. It is rainy and stormy weather and overfishings means fish yields is bad and fishermen has to go farther and deeper to get the fishes. Quality of fishes is also poor and sometimes the remnant excrement particles is giving bitter taste of the fishes and it can’t be exported .Another problem is the sand mining which is a big problem.Govt of India is poorly managed the COVID situation leading loss of jobs and livelihood , here in Canada things is not so bad people is got vaccine easily and no job losses is happened. Fishing and sand mining is all scientific and proper . Praying the missing men are found safe and sound
