    Its really sad to hear this.May his soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathies to his family.I think govt must ring out a rule that fisherman must wear a life saving aid or ring compulsory so that they can atleast remain over water in case one falls accidentally ins wasser.It happened so many times that fishers fall into water and cant be saved.Many even cant swim.It is dangerous out in sea.
