    Praveen, this is not safety officer's fault. Already fishermen were instructed not to venture into the sea. It's raining heavily too.....why we people neglect every rules and regulations put forward by the administration? When there's no value is given to the order, this is what going to happen. Same negligence happening in corona also. People just go out without maintaining social distance. Only few follow strictly.... May the departed souls rest in peace....

    High time govt provide life vests to all fishermen or atleast subsidize so that owners provide for their boatmen it will workout instead of compensation.
