As many as 550 fishermen in 33 trawlers went missing in the Bay of Bengal on Friday in rough weather due to heavy rains triggered by a depression, prompting a search by a Coastguard ship and a Dornier aircraft.
The trawlers had set sail from Kakdwip and adjacent areas in South 24-Parganas district yesterday and was reported missing in heavy rains following the depression lying 80 km east of Kolkata, District Magistrate N S Nigam told PTI over phone.
A Coastguard ship and a Dornier aircraft were despatched to trace the trawlers but the search was being “hindered by low-level high speed air circulation and low clouds”, Defence sources said.
