Kanyakumari: In a dramatic turn along the Tamil Nadu coast, an expert recovery team has successfully retrieved a mysterious container from a shipwreck that washed ashore at Vaniyakudi, a fishing village near Colachel in Kanyakumari district.
The container, found roughly one kilometre from Colachel, is believed to have drifted in due to powerful sea currents. Its sudden appearance alarmed local fishermen and residents, triggering a prompt response from authorities.
Acting swiftly, a specialized recovery unit was dispatched to secure and remove the container without incident. Officials confirmed that the operation was completed safely, posing no threat to the community or the marine environment.
Preliminary reports suggest the container may have originated from a distressed vessel navigating nearby waters. Authorities are now investigating the vessel’s identity and the circumstances that led to the container’s detachment.
Coastal monitoring has been intensified, and fishermen have been advised to remain vigilant. The incident has added an air of mystery to the usually calm shores of Kanyakumari, as efforts continue to uncover the full story behind the drifting container.
