Bodies of four missing fishermen recovered off Gwadar coast

The four dead bodies were recovered from a fishing boat that capsized near Gwadar, bringing the total death toll to five, reported 24NewsHDTV Channel.

The boat, carrying six fishermen from Karachi, sank due to strong winds and rough waves in the Arabian Sea earlier this week. Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF) media coordinator Kamal Shah confirmed that six fishermen were on board at the time of the accident. 

PFF Chairman Mehran Ali Shah, speaking to media at Ayub’s funeral, said the fishing community faces daily risks at sea to provide for their families. He demanded the Sindh government set up rescue centres along the coast and provide speedboats to ensure timely responses during maritime emergencies. Shah also urged the Fishermen Cooperative Society and relevant authorities to offer immediate financial aid to the victims’ families.
