Navy’s search and rescue operation is still going on and on the fourth day 11 dead bodies have been recovered from Barge P305, which had sunk off the Mumbai coast on Monday. This takes the death toll to 37 and 38 are missing.

Indian Navy ships worked through the night, using searchlights to trace any movement in the pitch dark waters, as hopes of finding more survivors began to recede on Thursday. As many as 37 personnel on board the barge are dead and 38 still missing, after Navy personnel, battling extreme weather, so far rescued 188 of the 261 people who were on board the barge P305 and two personnel from tugboat Varaprada.
