Basmala Boat Struck in Reef
Basmala Boat Struck in Reef
Basmala is a passenger cum goods
boat. It is the boat of L.Dhanbidhoo island. It goes to the capital Male’
regularly to bring all the things which are needed for the people as well as
the shops of Kalaidhoo, Dhanbidhoo, Gan and Fonadhoo. So many people are
leading their life happily due to the good service of this boat.On 8th June 2017 while it
was coming from Male’ to Dhanbidhoo it met an accident. It arrived to Kalaidhoo
island at 3 pm and unloaded the things. After it started moving to Dhanbidhoo.
It was a low tide day and the water level of the routine sea route was so low.
Due to this, the boat struck with some corals and the bottom got damaged. The
sea water rushed inside the boat little by little. There were 6 passengers too.
The boat captain immediately called Kalaidhoo people and Dhanbidhoo people.
They reached that spot with small boats and saved the people those who
travelled in it. Police too came and helped to carry the things which are in
the boat. It was a huge loss for the shop owners and the boat. After twice a
week of hard work the boat was taken to Dhanbidhoo jetty. It was expected that
it would start its journey again after a year.
