Two more persons rescued, search on for missing three

Two more persons, missing after a cargo-laden dhow sank in the Arabian sea near here, were today rescued as the search for tracing three others were on, Coast Guard sources said.

Three persons were rescued and five reported missing in the incident yesterday.

The rescued sailors are Bhaskaran and Keni and they have been admitted to hospital, the sources said.

The dhow ‘Arul Seeli’ with an eight-member crew was on its way to Lakshadweep islands from Beypore near here when it sank 24 nautical miles off the coast after developing a leak, they said.
