According to a report by Sandesh newspaper, a major tragedy was narrowly averted on a natural island located at the famous Nani Daman beach in the Union Territory of Daman. A family that had gone to enjoy the sea waves got trapped there due to a sudden tide in the sea.
This family was completely unaware of the process of high and low tides in the sea and their timings. During the sightseeing, the water level in the sea suddenly started rising rapidly and sea water surrounded the entire island from all four sides. As the island began to submerge in water, panic spread among the tourists present there and the way back to the shore also started closing.
Eventually, all the members of the family had to step into waist-deep sea water to save their lives and move forward amidst severe difficulty, and they succeeded in reaching the shore safely. Especially, the task of bringing the young children out of deep water proved to be extremely dangerous, but fortunately everyone was rescued safely. Tourists coming from outside go to this island to watch the evening sunset, but due to not being aware of the local tide timings, people's lives are endangered when water suddenly overflows.
The Nani Daman beach of Daman is popular among tourists for its picturesque natural island and beautiful sunset. Even in the past, incidents of tourists getting trapped on the natural island at this very place have occurred, making it imperative for tourists to exercise caution.
