Realising the seriousness of the situation, as the sea conditions were highly adverse due to prevailing low pressure, the Coast Guard personnel swung into action immediately. Under the command of Comdt (JG) A Srivastava, Amogh located three fishing boats.
The boats were then safely escorted to the fishing harbour at Paradip, in Jagatsinghpur district.
