Ahmedabad: A day before Republic Day, 30 Indian fishermen from Gujarat’s Porbandar port, along with five boats, were on Monday captured by the Pakistan Marine Security Agency (PMSA) in the Arabian sea off the Gujarat coast, an official said.
The boats from Porbandar had ventured into high seas for fishing nearly a week ago, National Fish Workers Forum secretary Manish Lodhari told journalists. Lodhari said the number of captured boats could be more than five.
Initial information said five boats were captured by the Pakistani authorities near the International Maritime Boundary Line, but the number could be 8-9, with 5-6 fishermen on each boat. (IANS)
