Mangalore, September 18: In yet another offshore tragedy, an elderly fisherman lost his life, after slipping into the Arabian Sea on Sunday after noon.

The victim has been identified as 65 year old Chandraya Ameen, a resident of Bolur here.

Chandraya, who was engaged in fishing activity along with 23 other fishermen on board 'Sri Ganga Devi' parseen boat owned by one Padmanabha, lost his balance and fell into the sea.

Even though other fishermen jumped into the sea immediately and tried to rescue him, they did not succeed in saving him, said Padmanabha.

The incident occurred around 30 nautical miles away from Mangalore coast.

The body was shifted to mortuary at Government Wenlock Hospital for post-mortem.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.
