INS Surat’s onboard medical team stabilized the critical cases before disembarkation . Local authorities, including port, immigration and police officials, coordinated a seamless evacuation and medical transfer .

The tragic incident left four crew members missing, triggering ongoing search operations in the Arabian Sea . As firefighting efforts continue at sea, port workers at Panambur recounted emotional scenes as rescued sailors, some in stretchers, whispered prayers upon arrival
