Berhampur: Seven more fishermen from Bangladesh, who were in their defunct boat inside the deep sea, were rescued by the local fishermen of Podampeta in Odisha's Ganjam district on Saturday.
While one of them was admitted at the hospital at Chhatrapur due to fever, the condition of other Bangladeshi nationals is good, said inspector in-charge marine police station Ashok Kumar Parida.
As many as ten fishermen from Bangladesh were rescued by the local fishermen from the deep sea yesterday.
The fishermen from Bangladesh were stuck inside the sea, when their boat developed a snag. The local fishermen from Podampeta detected them in trouble and were brought ashore. All of them stayed in the marine police station at Arjipalli, while administration provided foods, sources said.
"We have already taken up the matter with the home department and trying to send them back as soon as possible," said a senior officer.
District collector Krishan Kumar also spoke to rescued fishermen.
"We got rebirth, after being saved by Odia fishermen. They dared to rescue us even though the sea was rough due to stormy weather under the influence of depression," they said.
7 more Bangladeshi fishermen rescued from Odisha
At least 17 fishermen from Bangladesh were rescued by locals after their fishing boat developed a snag in the deep-sea, about 50 km from here today, police said.
After being rescued by local fishermen, they took shelter at the multi-purpose cyclone shelter centre at Podampeta.
The fishermen from Bangladesh were in trouble in deep-sea as the fan belt of their fishing trawler was damaged about three days ago under the influence of the cyclone Nilam.
When they were trying to come to the shore, local fishermen rescued them, said SP (Ganjam) Ashish Singh.
They were without food for the last three to four days as their ration had finished. They were inside the sea for 29 days before reaching Ganjam coast, he said.
They are safe and the police administration has started investigation on their actual identities, said a revenue officer.
District collector Krishan Kumar rushed to Podampeta and talked with the rescued Bangladeshis. The administration would provide all possible help to them, he said.
Police was planning to shift them to the marine police station at Arjeepalli.
