    Cyclone Ockhi: 200 trapped fishermen rescued; many yet to return
  • It's not the first-time that Kerala's fishermen have seen a violent sea, but the ferocity of Cyclone Ockhi left them terrified.

    Stranded in turbulent waters without food and water, they were desperately looking for help.

    Indian Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard brought 200 fishermen ashore.

    They are undergoing treatment but are yet to recover from the shock of coming face-to-face with death.

  • One terrified fisherman, Titus, hailing from Neendakara of Kerala's Kollam district said he never faced such a violent sea; not even in the movies.

    He added the gusty winds literally overthrew their boat, but somehow they managed to hold on to it until the rescue team arrived.

    Kennedy, a fellow fisherman, said they aimlessly drifted for 100km in the strong winds.
