    Very Sad.

    Please if you don't have any knowledge about these small boats , don't comment blindly.

    There are several hightech Mechanized boats are there in Karnataka Karavali too.

    Everyone can't afford the cost., Even such big boat sometimes meet accidents.

    The poor people who can't afford the cost or can't work long hours are using this small boat. Even this boat have a mechanised Engine.

    It is not easy to to work in Sea , due to bad weather any time any thing may happen.
