The Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) on Sunday apprehended twelve fishermen and seized two boats off Gujarat coast, National Fishworkers’ Forum (NFF) said.
The fishermen had sailed off the coastal town of Okha in Gujarat’s Dwarka district five to six days back and were apprehended by the PMSA near the International Maritime Border Line on Sunday, NFF secretary Manish Lodhari said.
“We came to know about the incident from fishermen returning here. We were told that 12 fishermen on two fishing boats were apprehended by Pakistani Maritime Security Agency and were being taken to Karachi,” Mr. Lodhari said.
Earlier on Saturday, the Coast Guard had apprehended a Pakistani fishing boat, which had illegally crossed the Indian maritime boundary and arrested 11 Pakistani fishermen off Jakhau coast in Kutch district.
