Three personnel martyred as PMSA launch sinks in Arabian Sea

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Coast Guard is part of Armed forces in india,a different branch altogether .. not civilian.
And operations like these are conducted by "marines" of Pakistan Navy (PMSA)...and your Coast guard is under your army.. which makes your structure complex.

Pak Marines is naval infantry which guards creeks,marshee and wetland territories.


PMSA is Pak Maritime Security Agency which is like naval police. Not part of military nor are they "commandos".

Three Pakistani commandos were killed in a freak accident off the Gujarat Coast in the early hours of Monday morning, according to The Hindu.

The Gujarat Coast Guard rushed to the spot after receiving a message of the accident. They rescued two commandos of the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency and retrieved three bodies floating in the waters, sources told The Hindu. One Pakistani Commando was reported missing.


On Monday, a fleet of PMSA boats allegedly entered Indian territorial waters and seized at least a dozen Indian fishing, 70 nautical miles off the Jakhau port. The accident occurred when the trawlers were being escorted to the Karachi port. A boat belonging to the PMSA, which had six commandos on board, collided with one of the Indian trawlers and capsized. The Indian boats were released after the Coast Guard handed over the bodies to the PMSA.

RIP

PMSA not have Commando force dear, your News Paper reported false story.

Indian coast guard came to the rescue of Pakistanis.

KARACHI: Three personnel of the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) were martyred on Tuesday after their launch sank within Pakistani territorial waters off Indian state of Gujarat.

The incident took place while PMSA vessel, MSS Wahdat, was engaged in an operation against Indian fishing boats illegally entering into Pakistani waters. There were seven PMSA personnel aboard the ship.

Sources told Geo News that the PMSA ship collided with Indian boats, while taking them to Karachi, some 70 nautical miles off Jakhau port in Indian state of Gujarat.

The incident prompted Pakistani authorities to immediately call international helpline, after which nearby cargo ships as well as Indian coast guards' launches also came to the rescue of PMSA men aboard the vessel.

The joint rescue operation saved lives of three PMSA personnel, while three of them embraced martyrdom.

One of the seven PMSA men aboard the ship is still missing.

The bodies of martyred men were also retrieved.

Another reason why we need more Frigates / Corvettes and Bigger boats in general and also the Patrol fleet needs heavy ships

The Indian version of the story is different.But I guess this version posted in ONE pakistani source finally after hours after apprearing in indian papers will have to do for this forum. Seems this version is okayed by the "media wing" and may be other pak papers can now print it too.

The only reason they had to make a passing reference to Indian coast guard was because their PMSA chief had to call our coast guard top brass for help

what is needed is to stop entering our waters and take our fishermen at gun point.
Hate is fine ,but use commensence if its allowed.
If it was your water or international waters ,Pakistani ships would have been searching where the boat sank not Indian coast guard.

the op starts with Pakistani territotial waters off Indian state of gujarat.

They did not "call" the Indian Coast Guard for help, a mayday signal is broadcast on open frequency that all nearby vessels respond to. Its a code of honour of the seas. No sailor wants one of his peers to die by the sea.

Gratitude to the Indian Coast Guard for their efforts.

The OP claims otherwise.

Yes but that version of events completely contradicts the established SOPs for such scenarios. By the time the information would be relayed to the DG through various channels as ships or even their bases are not in direct comm with the DG, especially if he is abroad, the situation will already be well past the rescue stage.
Secondly, when the DG is visiting abroad, he will definitely be sensitized to the situation but it will be handled by the acting DG in his absence.
Lastly, according to established protocol, it is probably the vessel or base these men were dispatched from that sent out the mayday, alternatively, it might have been the men themselves as well, depending on how much time they had before the vessel went down.

Not standard protocol. I agree.

But if they were in Indian waters and were lost, it is possible a call may have been made to seek help (in addition to SOP) as a sailor on lifejacket can survive for many hours in warm waters.

In any case the news has been supressed by pakistani media. Which is disappointing.

Fake news.

Fake human.

There are some pacts, agreements between every nation on different issues especially related to the military. Indian Naval use hotline btw Pakistan Navy if their sailors lost into Pakistani Coasts similarly, PN contact IN for the support in case of such incident. These are pre-defined rules and regulations in which some are bilateral and some agreements and conditions applied by the security council United Nation.

Anyway they did the job so credit must be given.
