Over 55 Indian fishermen along with 10 boats were apprehended by the Pakistan Marine Security Agency (PMSA) off the Gujarat coast.
According to sources from Porbandar, all boats were taken away by the agency near the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) in mid-sea. The fishermen have informed Indian authorities about being detained by the Pakistani agency.
A group of boats was on a fishing venture along the IMBL off Jakhau, a major fishing harbour in Kutch Gujarat. “All boats were chased and then taken away by PMSA personnel mid-sea,” said a fishermen association representative from Kutch.
This is the second time in 10 days that the Pakistani agency detained Indian boats and fishermen off the Gujarat coast.
