Three fishermen who went missing after a fishing boat capsized near Karachi’s Sea View monument were recovered on Tuesday, according to the Edhi Foundation. Two fishermen were rescued on Monday evening, while the remaining three went missing. The bodies of all three deceased fishermen—55-year-old Abdul Salam, 30-year-old Muna, and 35-year-old Saeed alias Kalu—were recovered on Tuesday and transported to Jinnah Hospital via Edhi ambulances.
The Edhi marine rescue operation, which commenced on Monday night, concluded with the recovery of the third body. The incident occurred due to a fault in the boat at sea, and authorities sought assistance from the Pakistan Navy and Coast Guard. In May, 18 people were rescued after their boat capsized near Karachi’s Ibrahim Hyderi, while in January, seven people were rescued following a collision between a merchant vessel and a fishing boat off Karachi’s Manora. Last year, a fisherman drowned when his boat capsized near Port Qasim due to strong winds.
