Four fishermen who were on their way for fishing in the Arabian Sea went missing in Koderi village of Byndoor taluk, Udupi district, on Sunday afternoon after their boat capsized while entering a rough sea.
They were among a batch of about 24 fishermen who ventured out for fishing in two traditional fishing boats from Koderi fishing harbour.
The police gave the names of the missing fishermen as Shekhar Kharvi (35), Nagaraj Kharvi (46), Lakshman Kharvi (34) and Manjunath Kharvi (38), all residents of the locality.
Fishermen in the two boats were in a joint effort when the incident occurred at the mouth of the breakwater where Yedamavinahole joins the Arabian Sea. One of the two boats capsized while negotiating the rough sea waves on Sunday. There were 12 fishermen in the boat that capsized and eight of them swam to safety.
