PANJIM: Alert Drishti lifesavers on Tuesday morning averted the suicide of a 29-year-old male at Colva beach.
A Drishti lifesaver noticed a fully clothed male walk into the sea. Noticing that something may be amiss, the lifesaver followed the male into the waters and called for backup. The lifesaving team on backup rushed to assist and the male was brought back ashore.
On further enquiry it was learnt that the man was going through personal family issues and hence wanted to end his life. He hailed from Mysore. Police were later informed of the incident.
Meanwhile, a triple rescue was conducted at Baga and a single rescue at the Dudhsagar falls.
Baga witnessed a triple rescue of males aged 20 and 21 from Karnataka. The trio went into the waters for a swim and got caught in a rip current. The lifesavers patrolling the area, spotted the three in distress and rushed to bring them to shore.
