Fishermen in other boats and coastal police helped rescue them, police said. In the second incident, 17 fishermen from Thrissur district had a miraculous escape when their fibreglass boat capsized off Kochi coast at around 9.30 AM. The boat capsized when fishermen lost balance as they were pulling the nets with a heavy catch, police said. Marine Enforcement and Kochi coastal police rushed to the area, about four nautical miles away from Njarackal and rescued them after receiving an alert from fishermen in another boat, police said.
