Strong winds toppled a boat in the Arabian Sea, killing one fisherman and injuring several others, according to ARY News, quoting a spokeswoman.
“There were 16 fishermen in the boat,” a spokesman of the Coastal Media Centre said adding, “All fishermen of the ill-fated boat were natives of the coastal settlement of Ibrahim Haideri.” “A rescue operation has been underway to get the fishermen stranded in the sea to safety,” he said.
According to ARY News, the fisherman who perished in the incident “has been identified as Muhammad,” according to a Coastal Media Centre spokeswoman. This is not the first time something like this has happened.
A boat capsized in Kalankar Lake near Dhoro Naro in the Umerkot area in February of this year, killing at least six people through drowning. Ten people were on their way to Sehar Faquir’s shrine to pay their respects. According to ARY News, six persons were murdered when the boat capsized in the lake.
