The Story in Brief
The Indian Navy has joined the search for three fishermen missing after separate boat mishaps off Kerala's Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts. INS Kalpeni sailed from Kochi on Saturday night and anchored off Neendakara on Sunday morning, with a diving team using portable SONAR for underwater surveillance. The search, now on its 10th day, focuses on Gautam Krishna, who went missing after a boat capsized off Neendakara. Union Minister Suresh Gopi said resources have been mobilised to intensify the operation.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative around delayed government response overlooks the challenges of sea search operations. A slow response was alleged, but the Navy was deployed with divers and SONAR within days. The real test is whether the search continues till the fishermen are found, not how quickly it began.
