Kota: Two boats, Jalasagara and Jala Janani, owned by Geetha from Saligrama and Bhavani respectively, had run aground on September 17 due to heavy winds and rain at Gopadi Charkikadu, after facing technical issues. Despite several efforts over the past four days to pull the boats back into the water with the help of another boat and technical experts, the operation failed.
Though the fishermen were unharmed, the boats suffered substantial damage. It is feared that both boats may be completely lost, with an estimated loss of Rs 30 lakh.
