For the last three months, Irfan Shirgaonkar, 39, the first class master on board Ark Deck Bar, the floating restaurant that capsized off Bandra coast on May 25, has been without a job. With two children in Std XII and Std IX, he is worried about his future.

Shirgaonkar, who is presently at his hometown in Dhapoli, Ratnagiri, has been receiving half his salary from the Ark Deck owners for the last three months. Unfortunately, while he has been approached by other fishing companies at a salary that’s nearly twice of what he currently draws, he cannot take up the offer as the inquiry is still underway.
