At a time when a delegation of the Gujarat Government is in Karachi to bring back Indian boats captured by Pakistan Marine Security Agency (PMSA), 48 more Indian fishermen apprehended and their eight boats have been seized by PMSA personnel near Jakhau port in Kutch district. Confirming the development, National Fish Workers Forum secretary Manish lodhari said that the Indian fishermen and their boats have been towed to Karachi.
"PMSA personnel also fired rounds in air to take control over Indian boats and unarmed fishermen. They had overpowered Indian boats from Indian waters," claimed lodhari. The boats were from Porbander and Veraval and most of the onboard fishermen were from coastal towns in Gujarat.
