    During the monsoon season the sea is rough and most of the visitors who come from far away places does not understand the nature of sea current . In some of the beaches as per District Administrative orders , barricades ( danger line and red flags ) are put so that visitors do not cross this lines. However it is very sad to note that inspite of the local life guards requesting the visitors not to cross the danger line , they start arguing with the local life guards and people who know he situation of sea current well . This matter ends up in picking quarrel and heated arguments . This generally happens with youngster who always feel that they can handle all situation while in sea.

    My suggestion is that all visitors to beaches must abide by the local life guards instructions. After all it is for our own safety they advise the general public .

    Very sad to know a young man was drowned at Malpe beach while his friend was rescued by our brave lifeguards. May the soul of Kiran RIP. At this time of the year, the sea is unpredictable. Even expert swimmers are unable to overcome the high waves.
