Kerala Fishermen Rescued After Boat Engine Failure
Kochi, October 25, 2025 (The Hindu) – Five fishermen from Chellanam, Kerala, are safe after being rescued from a maritime mishap on Friday evening. The fishermen, natives of Kandakkadavu in Chellanam, found themselves stranded after their boat, the “Emmanuel,” suffered engine failure.
The men had set out to sea around 4:30 a.m. and were expected back by 9 a.m. When they failed to return, concerned family members alerted authorities, prompting the Coastal Police to launch a search operation. Efforts to contact the fishermen by mobile phone were unsuccessful.
According to reports, the boat began to drift after the engine failure. Rough sea conditions prevented other fishermen from Chellanam who were at sea from noticing their colleagues’ plight.
Fortunately, a fishing vessel named “Nadhan” from Colachel spotted the stranded fishermen and initiated a rescue operation. The five fishermen were brought safely back to shore late Friday night and are reported to be in good health.
