| Pakistan arrests 74 Indian fishermen for ''violating sea territory'' |
| 2009-03-26 |
| (Xinhua) -- Pakistan's Maritime Security Agency (MSA) said on Wednesday that it had arrested 74 Indian fishermen for alleged presence in Pakistani territory. The MSA in southern port city of Karachi arrested 74 Indian fishermen and confiscated 13 boats for violating sea territorial limits, Dawn TV channel quoted a MSA spokesman as saying. Pakistan and India, which have fought three wars since 1947, share the waters in the Arabian Sea, and there has been controversy over maritime boundary between the two countries. The two arch-rivals in South Asia have kept capturing fishermen for "illegal fishing" when the fishermen cross into the other country's territory due to tidal currents, wind force, cyclone and engine failures. |
