Efforts are underway to refloat the ferry that partially sank in the Mandovi River near Chorão.
Authorities have initiated the operation to remove the submerged vessel, which has been obstructing river traffic and posing safety risks.
Teams equipped with specialized machinery and support boats have been deployed to stabilize and lift the ferry. Officials said the process could take several hours, depending on weather conditions and the vessel’s condition.
The incident has drawn concerns from commuters and local residents who rely on the ferry service for daily transport. Authorities assured that normal operations will resume as soon as the vessel is safely removed and the route is cleared.
