As the phone ran out of charge, the fishermen in the boat lost contact with the outside world. Since then, the whereabouts of the fishermen were not available, and the government took up search operations and formed special teams with two helicopters. The teams have searched the surrounding areas of the Kakinada Sea since Tuesday. It is known that special boats were brought from Machilipatnam and search operations were carried out and found the missing fishermen.
