Bhuj (Gujarat) [India], March 17 (ANI): The Border Security Force (BSF) seized two Pakistani boats in the Sir Creek area in Gujarat’s Bhuj on Wednesday.

The BSF in an official statement issued on Wednesday said, “Movement of two Pakistani fishing boats and four-five Pakistani fishermen was observed by the troops of BSF Bhuj while patrolling in the Sir Creek area.”

The troops immediately rushed to the spot after crossing swamps and brooks on foot, the statement added.
