Four persons were rescued after they were caught up in rip currents in three different incidents at Baga beach over the weekend.
According to Drishti reports, two male youth from Karnataka had ventured into the waters at Baga, when they found themselves in the deep areas and panicked.
They started gesturing for help and Drishti lifesavers Chandrakant Kopardekar and Sagar Naik dashed into the waters and brought the duo ashore.
Later in the day, another youth who waded into the deep got caught up in a rip current and was being dragged out into the sea when Drishti lifesaver Sandeep Paryekar spotted him in distress. Paryekar rushed to his aid and brought him ashore.
Later that evening, a 38-year-old man from Mumbai entered into the sea to have a swim at Baga beach and got pulled inward by a rip current.
Noticing the victim struggling for help, Drishti lifesaver Mehboobsab Tahsildar relayed a rescue call and immediately rushed to the victim’s rescue. After securing him to the rescue board, they brought him ashore on a jetski.
