A 21-year-old tourist from Hyderabad was rescued by a teenaged Drishti lifesaver at Baga on Monday evening.
According to reports, a group of four male tourists ventured into the waters at Baga at about 3.30 pm when one of them lost his footing.
The receding tide pulled the male further away from the shore and he began drifting into the deeper waters when he was spotted by 18-year-old Drishti lifesaver Suvesh Keluskar.
The lifesaver rushed into the waters with his rescue tube and managed to secure the male to it. The lifesaver calmed the male and asked him to grab onto the rescue tube while he swam ashore along with the rescued survivor.
The vitals were checked and were found to be normal. The lifesaving team counselled the survivor and his friends on the dos and don’ts to be followed while at the beach.
