Andamans: Navy To rescue 800 tourists stranded in Havelock islands

PORT BLAIR: The Navy has sent four ships to help evacuate 800 tourists stranded at Havelock Islands in the Andamans because of heavy rain.

After the rain left hundreds of tourists stranded, the administration called the Navy early Wednesday morning.

The sudden evacuation mission was initiated at the request of the Andaman and Nicobar disaster management, which speculates that a “cyclonic storm” might struck Havelock, an island about 40 km from the state capital Port Blair.
