A boat carrying Union minister Parshottam Rupala got stuck in Odisha's Chilika Lake for around two hours on Sunday evening allegedly because of nets laid by fishermen in the waters, an official said.
However, the administration sent another vessel which rescued the Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying and took him to his destination. He was accompanied by BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra and a few other local party leaders while being stranded on the boat.
The incident took place when the minister started his journey from Balugaon in Khurda district and was on his way to Satapada in Puri district through the blue lagoon.
