Heroic Anish tried to save his father but he is drowned too
The Father - Son gone to Rachol, Zuari River on their bike from their Residence
Borda, Margao
(a distance of about 14kms) to perform some religious rites 'ashes'
of their late father /grand father who died a year ago.
At the dock (jetty), while father (48) performing rites stanging on the steps
below knee deep water,
he suddenly fell into the river (slipped), seeinghis father is struggling for
life, the son raise alarm
but no one out there to help, he then jumped hoping to save his father but he
was drowned too.
Heroic Son Aneesh (17). RIP
He could not save his father, so what?
At least he was brave enough to try to save him.
Not all such risky attempts end up in success
Bravery award to the son highly recommended (posthumously)
The incident took place on Thursday the 22nd Dec. 2011 at 2.30pm.
Police, Coastal Police, Navy divers with under water cameras tried to look for
them the whole day
and the next day but no luck.Bodies found floating on the third day Saturday
the 24th Dec,
one at the site / dock and the other little further towards Raia-Shiroda Ferry.
Final rites took place on Sunday the X’Mas day.
Father was working at Account Dept. KTC, Margao and the son was a student of
Class XII.
One can well imagine what the wife / mother is going through, I have personally
watched the situation at her
residence Borda (1st floor flat) today 29th Dec. 2011. Little daughter/Sister
Durga also seen.
God, give them strength to bear all this.
The heroic son
