Derana Puttalam District correspondent Jude Samantha, who went to report on the erosion of the banks of Deduru Oya, yesterday (10), had met with an unexpected accident.
He was traveling in a boat along the Deduru Oya to cover the news. In the meantime, the boat carrying him was overturned. Although the boat capsized in the shallows of Deduru Oya, there was no loss of life.
His phone and camera felled to The water. But not big damage. At The end of the note he had written ‘What to do’. It is imperative that Mr. Jude Samantha be taken into the media profession by taking risks and in such cases, and in a safe manner. It would have been a disadvantage for him not to have had a life jacket at the time. This story is learning matter for all journalists.
