RAJKOT: With the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) releasing two rescued Pakistani marines on Tuesday after an accident on the Indian side of the international maritime boundary line (IMBL), Pakistan Marine Security Agency (PMSA) released 63 fishermen with their seven boats, reciprocating the gesture of goodwill.

PMSA released the fishermen after ICG and Navy handed over two rescued Pakistani commandos and bodies of three others who drowned when their boat collided with one of the Indian fishing boats, 'Mahenoor', off Jakhau coast on Sunday night.

ICG has also issued an alert to Gujarat marine police regarding the Pakistani marine who went missing.

The PMSA boat, with six on board, had capsized, but the Indian sailors rescued two commandos while ICG ship 'Arinjay' recovered bodies of three others who had drowned.

The accident happened around 10 nautical miles on the Indian side of IMBL. "As a goodwill gesture, PMSA has released 10 boats with their 63 fishermen.

All boats are from Mangrol of Junagadh district and Okha. We are at Porbandarcoast to receive the fishermen,'' said Manish Lodhari, secretary, National Fish Workers Forum (NFF).



Sources said a fleet of PMSA boats had reportedly rushed into Indian waters, when seven Indian boats were busy fishing about 70 nautical miles from Jhakhau coast."PMSA boats rounded up seven Indian fishing boats namely Uma Shakti, Parshu Ram, Trishul, Savan, Ashirvad, Kishan Kanahiya, Baba Jalluddin and Mahenoor," said a source.
"While escorting them to Karachi coast, one of the Indian boats broke down resulting in a collision with one of the small fast boats of PMSA. The PMSA boat with six Pak marine commandos capsized," the source said.


Sources added that the Indian fishing boat 'Mahenoor', which had broken down, was then let off by the PMSA commandos for being towed by another boat, 'Uma Shakti' to Jakhau coast, with just one crew member.

The PMSA is infamous for sailing into Indian waters and kidnapping Indian fishermen with their boats. "On April 4 this month, PMSA had kidnapped 65 Indian fishermen with their vessels off Gujarat coast," the source said.

.
they should have been tried for entering Indian waters and trying to kidnap our fishermen....
 
.
sad and weird news..
Trespassing fisherman are dangerous for both countries security. If they are greedy enough to cross border for more fish~money they can do anything.
 
.
Somebody correctly said in another thread. We need bigger ships after spending so much on CPEC, we need to be able to stop illegal fishing and pirates effectively.
 
.
Well said so also, in these months the sea remains on high tide and current that bigger ships can face such though with CPEC development and need of tighten security, induction of larger boats is need of the hour.
 
.
I fail to understand how? Were they not wearing life jackets? why were they so close to fishing boats that they can be rammed? why were they alone there in just one boat, should they not be operating in pairs for safety reasons?
Could this be an intentional ramming by Indians? Were they actually fishing boats manned by fisherman or indian navy personnel disguised as fishermen? @Rashid Mahmood

Whatever has been posted by media is 20% correct.
There was an indian coast ship also involved.
Actual matter is being investigated.
2 men were recovered from ICG ship by our frigate.
 
. .
So did the PMSS Vehdat (1063) sink or one of the supporting small boats?
 
.
I dont think PMSA even has commandos, so this is likely massala added by your media

Sorry but i havent seen this news story on our media yet, maybe they are busy covering some important news like upcomig delhi MCD elections
