Day after drowning, area around MV Wisdom secured:

A Day after a teenaged boy drowned at the Juhu Beach while playing near beached vessel MV Wisdom, bamboo barricades came up on a stretch to cordon off the area around the vessel. While NGO Juhu Beach Lifeguards Association claimed that they put up the barricades, the police and fire brigade maintained that they jointly secured the area.

The ship has been attracting curious residents since it ran aground on June 12. Neville David of JBLA said they erected the bamboo barriers on a 40 by 100 ft area. A senior fire officer challenged the claim.

“The fire brigade and the police have jointly cordoned off the area,” he said. In addition to five lifeguards, four firemen and two fire station officers are also present on the beach. A police official from the Santacruz police station said the number of police personnel on the beach has been increased after Friday’s incident.
