The body of one of the five missing sailors,
whose lifeboat was wrecked in cyclone Nilam
that hit the Tamil Nadu coast on Wednesday
evening, has been found. The body has been sent
to a government hospital for identification. The
five sailors went missing after their life boat
capsized in choppy waters while 16 were
rescued by local fishermen and one drowned.
The sailors were a part of the crew of oil
tanker 'Pratibha Cauvery' that drifted in high
velocity winds before it ran aground near the
Eliotts Beach in South Chennai on Wednesday.
The ship had a crew of 37 on board.
