Chilika: As many as three boats with over 150 passengers and around 20 bikes are reportedly stranded in Chilika Lake this evening.
Sources said that the boats got stranded while the passengers were going to Satapada from Janhikuda village under Krushnaprasad block in Puri district.
Preliminary report suggests that the passenger boats got stuck after they traveled around 300 metres from the lakeshore, said sources adding that the boats got stuck as the water of the lake has dried to some extent owing to the summer season.
However, the local administration soon swung into action and rescued the stranded passengers.
