Two persons were rescued at Palolem beach, while one person was rescued at Arambol in two different incidents on Wednesday.
In the first incident, a 30-year-old male and 29-year-old female from Hyderabad went kayaking at Palolem. With strong waves, the kayak overturned and both fell fall into the waters.
Drishti lifesaver Sarvesh Govekar noticed the overturned kayak and the victims gesturing for help. He rushed to their aid and brought them back ashore.
At Arambol beach, a 55-year-old man from Mangalore entered the sea. Experiencing a sudden change in water levels, the victim found himself in danger.
As he attempted to return to the shore, he was unable to swim and called out for help. On noticing the victim, Drishti lifesaver Navnath Ghatwal rushed to his aid and secured him with a rescue tube.
The victim was brought back safely and oxygen was administered by the Drishti lifesaving team stationed at the beach. The victim was later taken to a hospital for further treatment where he was found to be out of danger.
