The Indian Coast Guard apprehended 35 Bangladeshi fishermen and seized two boats for illegal fishing activities within India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), reinforcing its commitment to maritime law enforcement. Detained on December 16, the fishermen lacked valid fishing permits and were found with approximately 500 kg of catch, indicating unauthorized operations. This incident highlights ongoing challenges in managing maritime boundaries, as the Indian Coast Guard has recently detained multiple Bangladeshi fishing vessels, underscoring the importance of safeguarding India’s marine resources. The matter also raises broader concerns about illegal fishing practices in the region and their impact on local fishing communities and resources.
