Coast Guard DIG B.K. Loshali, who contradicted the government’s version of the explosion on board a Pakistani vessel, has been removed as Chief of Staff in the Northwest region and attached to the zonal headquarters.

“This is a routine procedure. Since a BoI is on, he has been attached to the zonal headquarters in Gandhinagar as per the standard operating procedure,” sources in the Coast Guard said.
