In the afternoon on August 15, Kollam district collector S Karthikeyan received a call from his counterpart in Pathanamthitta, P B Nooh. He requested five dinghies to be sent from rescue operations in flooded areas in his district.

It had been raining incessantly for several days all over Kerala. Most of the reservoirs in the state had to be opened in the previous couple of days, leading to floods along most rivers, lakes and low-lying areas. And things were getting much worse than feared.

Now, the few dinghies in Kollam were already engaged in rescue mission within the district. So, Karthikeyan told Nooh he could possibly arrange some fishermen’s crafts. They were not sure how much it would help, but given the lack of options they decided to give it a try.

The Kollam collector immediately called up some fishermen’s societies and asked if they could spare some small boats for rescue operations. Most fishermen no longer use the traditional small boat to go fishing in the sea. So they suggested sending the slightly larger single-engine boats that they use these days. So, at around 4 in the evening, two boats with some fishermen were sent to Pathanamthitta on a trial basis.
