Coast Guard rescues 9 fishermen from sinking Arabian Sea boat
Some fishermen went out to sea in their boat.
Suddenly, their boat started to sink.

The Indian Coast Guard, which is like the security force of the sea, heard the call.
They sent a helicopter to find the sinking boat.
The helicopter brought all nine fishermen to safety.
