Seven Missing Andhra Pradesh Fishermen Found Safe Off West Bengal Coast
Seven fishermen from Andhra Pradesh's Konaseema district, missing since early August after setting out for deep-sea fishing, were found safe near Shankarpur fishing harbour off West Bengal. The boat had drifted due to a technical engine failure. Local fishermen discovered them and facilitated communication with their families. Andhra Pradesh authorities, including Fisheries officials and the district administration, are coordinating with West Bengal counterparts to ensure their safe return. State leaders, including Minister Kinjarapu Atchannaidu and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, monitored the search and relief efforts.
