The ill-fated vessel named 'Sagara Putha 3' had left the Galle fisheries harbour for fishing on 29th with six fishermen onboard. One fisherman had been rescued by a nearby fishing vessel. In response to a request made by the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, the Navy dispatched two Dvora craft, P 450 and P 485, in search of the missing fishermen. The recovered bodies were brought to the Galle fisheries harbour by the naval craft this evening and handed over to the Galle Harbour Police for onward action.
