Reportedly, large waves hit the fishing boat Harbour Sea, which belongs to Jagadish Bolur of Yojak (India) Private Limited, after which it lost control. Since the river was not that deep in that area, the 10 fishermen on board could swim to safety.

All the 10 survivors are from Tamil Nadu.

Fishing boat accidents have become common at Alive Bagilu. The local fishermen issued a deadline of one week to concerned authorities to take the required action, failing which they have warned that they will launch an intense protest.

Several boats return to New Mangalore Port, Karwar, and Malpe because of this danger at Alive Bagilu.

The fishing boat is completely damaged.
