Indian Coast Guard personnel have managed to safely rescue five fishermen off the Bekal coast in Kerala, as their boat overturned in the rough sea waters.

Kasaragod (Kerala): Five fishermen, who were stranded in deep-sea after their boat capsized off the Bekal coast late Wednesday night, have been rescued, thanks to the timely intervention of the Coast Guard.

A mechanised boat that sailed from nearby Chanthera harbour with five men on board got damaged due to the turbulent sea waters about six nautical miles from the shore early last evening.
