Another Pakistani fishing boat seized from creek area adjoining Gujarat
February 25, 2018
Bhuj:
The Border Security Force (BSF) has seized yet another big Pakistani boat in Nal creek adjoining Kutch district of Gujarat.
A senior officer of BSF said that the patrol team of the 108 battalion of BSF saw the boat last night which was bigger than those normally nabbed in this fish and sea food rich area. 3 to 4 persons on-board fled through the nearby land border.
‘Nothing suspicious has been found in the boat. Some fishing equipment and fish were recovered from it. The boat has been seized,’ he said.
Notably, another such boat was seized by BSF in Kotawari creek area on February 20.
The coast guard had nabbed 7 Pakistani fishermen with their boat near IMBL off Jakhau coast on February 13.
The BSF normally nabs the 25 ft X4 ft boat fitted with a Chinese fan made propelling motor in this area which was used for doing illegal fishing in the creek area. But the boat nabbed today was of a much bigger size.
