Search Underway for Eight Missing Fishermen off Andhra Pradesh Coast
Eight fishermen from Andhra Pradesh's Ambedkar Konaseema district went missing after their fishing boat departed from Odalarevu on August 3. The boat, carrying provisions for about 15 days, failed to return by the expected date, and communication was lost due to non-functioning mobile phones and GPS. Authorities, including the Indian Coast Guard and local police, have launched search operations along the Bay of Bengal, with efforts ongoing to locate the vessel and the fishermen amid challenges posed by limited tracking equipment.
