Boat carrying tourists had barely left shore when it capsized, says witness
A tourist vessel reportedly capsized shortly after departing from the shoreline, according to an eyewitness at the scene. Despite the sudden accident, witnesses noted that environmental factors did not appear to be the primary cause.
A witness to the incident reported that the boat, which was carrying a group of tourists, had only traveled a short distance from the shore when it began to capsize. The vessel reportedly tilted unexpectedly, leading to the emergency situation as passengers were thrown into the water.
An Indian national who observed the event stated that weather conditions at the time were not adverse. The clear visibility and calm sea state have raised questions regarding the mechanical stability or loading of the vessel during its departure.
Emergency response teams were alerted immediately following the capsize to assist with rescue operations. Authorities are currently investigating the passenger manifest and safety protocols to determine the total number of individuals involved in the accident.
