Sri Lanka Navy rescued a crew member of the multiday fishing trawler Vishak Putha who was suffering from a chest pain on Thursday at deep sea in a location 110 km away from the Southern coast. The trawler had left the Nilawella fishing harbour on April 25 for deep sea fishing. A fast Naval Craft was dispatched immediately in response to a request made by the owner of Vishak Putha for Naval assistance, and the patient was transferred safely to the Galle harbour. He was provided with first aid onboard to facilitate him with further medical treatment.
