For the second consecutive day, fishermen from Thangachimadam and other areas were on a mission to rescue the missing fisherman Dyon (38) on Friday.
On Wednesday, over 2000 fishers had ventured into the sea in about 400 boats, said Fisheries department officials. On Thursday evening, when the boat belonging to Samuel returned, Dyon was said to be missing. According to Marine Police, the fisherman had fallen in the sea by “mistake” and could not be traced immediately.
Hence, on Thursday morning, fisherfolks set off in search of Dyon, but returned empty handed. Again, on Friday, they went in search of him.
