Search Continues for Three Missing Fishermen After Separate Kerala Boat Accidents
Search operations continue for three fishermen missing since July 31 after separate boat accidents in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam districts. Despite the deaths of two family members in one incident, the missing fishermen remain untraced amid intensified efforts involving Coastal Police, Coast Guard helicopters, drones, and protests by families demanding action. Officials have expanded search areas, but adverse weather and operational challenges have hampered progress. Families express frustration over perceived delays and limited government response, while authorities assure ongoing commitment to the rescue efforts.
