Cyclone Ockhi

The cruise ship, whose originally planned route was from Kochi to Maldives, received a message the next day, warning the captain of the possibility of a storm.

While the Cyclone named ‘Ockhi’ meaning ‘eye’ in Bengali may have brought out several brave rescue stories in the last few days, the fact that till date there is no set mechanism to track fishermen stranded in the sea is what needs to be addressed.
