Coast Guard rescues 15 fishermen off AP coast

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.
