The Indian Coast Guard rescued 15 fishermen today after their boat was stranded in high seas off Andhra Pradesh coast.
MFB Mohan Raj, a fishing boat registered in Tamil Nadu, had ventured into the sea from Nagapatnam on June 16 with 15 crew onboard, a Coast Guard release said here.
After the boat got stranded in a rough sea due to a mechanical failure, Kakinada-based Coast Guard ship ICGS Rajdhwaj, under the command of commandant (JG) Vivek Sharma, sailed last night for its help.
The CG ship reached the stranded boat at around 4 am. As efforts to repair the defect failed, ICGS Rajdhwaj towed the fishing boat back to the shore.
