In a heroic act, employees of ONGC Kakinada sprang into action to rescue stranded fishermen on December 24.
After receiving an SOS call at 21:40 PM, ONGC promptly deployed its vessel “Greatship Dhriti”, initially assigned for tanker operations, to brave the treacherous seas and rescue the distressed fishermen.
Despite battling strong winds and high swells, the courageous crew successfully rescued all fishermen, providing them with fresh clothes, food, and much-needed care.
The rescued fishermen were safely handed over to the Indian Coast Guard at 12:18 PM today.
