Udupi, Jan 10: "All the seven fishermen, who went for deep sea fishing from the Malpe port, and are missing now along with the boat are safe but in trouble," assured Bobbarya Daiva, the deity that is revered by the fishermen community.

As the efforts of the government and fishermen themselves in locating the missing fishermen and the boat has not yielded any results so far, all the fishermen of first and second Mogaveera grama sabha of Badanidiyoor had organized 'Daiva Darshana' at the Thottam Bobbarya Daivasthana on Wednesday, January 9.

The Daiva which entered into the body of the Patri assured the families of the fishermen that 'I will be near them and protect them also,'

"The missing fishermen are on the northern direction. They are arrested by people outside state. The fishemen are facing difficulties also. However, it is impossible to find them by other fishermen. The government has to search for them through the military," said the Daiva.

The Daiva was unhappy and said, "The state government however, has not done any serious attempt to search for the missing fishermen. I had alerted earlier itself that a mishap is going to happen. But you people did not take me seriously."
