At the night of May 15, our boat was trapped in the sea because of Cyclone Tauktae storm. Shortly, we had been requested to work with life saving coats, as our boat had broken loose of its anchor soon after midnight. This caused a puncture from the Barge and water began gushing from 1 side. After a time, the back part of the boat began thumping and it got loaded. After that occurred, we’re asked to leap in the water. Afterwards, when most of the team members began leaping into the sea, then I also jumped into the ocean. After almost 14 hours, then I had been rescued by the Navy,” stated the blessed Amit, that had a narrow escape from the clutches of death. The status of lots of his coworkers remains to be upgraded, he explained, adding that,”Shortly, I contacted the hospitaland contacted my family in my own native area at Kannauj and educated them about my wellbeing.” Amit’s family and his village, also saluted the Indian Navy for rescuing Amit’s entire life.
