BSF seizes 11 Pak fishing boats, commandos air dropped

New Delhi, Feb 10 (Agency) The BSF has on Thursday air dropped three separate groups of commandos to deal with the hiding Pakistani intruders in Creek area of Gujarat. The operation has been carried out following intrusion by Pakistani fishing boats and fishermen in General Area Harami Nalla in district Bhuj on Wednesday. During overnight search operations, 11 Pakistani fishing boats have been seized, the BSF said. “An IAF chopper was used to drop the commandos.

They are closing in from three different directions to reach where the Pakistanis are hiding and the operation is still in progress,” an official said. The area is extremely marshy and mangroves and tidal waters are making the task of the troops challenging, the BSF said.
