Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore
Mangalore, Oct 15: News columns of various media are time and again flooded with incidents of drowning, but hardly is there any space for news where alert, dynamic lifeguards save lives risking their own. In Goa it is common sight, but Mangalore is not far behind.

The incident that happened on Monday, October 14 made not only lifeguards who work at Panambur beach proud, but also people who visit the beach for recreation.
Padukonaje Sanjeeva Nayak's three daughters Suganda (22), Pratima (18) and Revathi (25) got into the water to play. But a huge wave unexpectedly hit the three sisters and almost swept them away from shore and further into the sea. But the alert lifeguards (Unfortunately their names are not available at the moment) did a heroic job by rescuing all three and bringing them to shore safely.
People who witnessed the incident congratulated and appreciated the work of the lifeguards, and gave a piece of advice to those who go into the sea despite odd weather.
An eyewitness who spoke to daijiworld said that he panicked looking at the three girls getting washed away. There was a huge outcry from people who gathered around. "Unfortunately I did not have my mobile phone or camera with me at that moment, or I would have captured the heroism of the lifeguards," he said.
