A fishing boat off the shore of Karachi capsized today, killing at least 11 men. It was carrying 37 fishermen and the high tides caused it to capsize. As other boats were also close by, 15 men were rescued. Bodies of 11 were recovered using fishing nets and the rest of the bodies have not yet been found. A number of other fishermen sailed out in search of the missing bodies because they claim that the Coast Guards were of no help. It is sad to see that these men are struggling to make a living and absolutely no help or support is being provided by our government. It is high time that safety measures and financial help is provided so that these men can work with a peace of mind and support their families.
