The Indian Coast Guard in Pipavav on Thursday rescued a fisherman after receiving a distress signal from Dariya Dolat One, a fishing vessel about 110 km into sea from Pipavav. 
Indian Coast Guard ship C-409 which was on surveillance at the time was tasked for the evacuation. Swiftly responding to the medical emergency, ICG officials established communication with the boat and evacuated Deva Uka Dabhi, 31. He had sustained critical injury in his right lower abdomen while removing entangled ropes from the boat propeller.
Post evacuation and initial treatment by the ICG medical team at sea, Dabhi was safely brought back to Pipavav Harbour. He was then transferred to Fisheries Association, Jafrabad in stable condition for further medical assistance.
