Pak fishing net buoy found washed ashore at Korlai beach in Raigad after six days of search operation
Navi Mumbai: A Pakistani fishing net buoy that had detached and drifted in the Arabian sea about five months ago and had disappeared after being spotted by the Indian Coast Guard on July 6 has been found washed ashore at Korlai beach in Murud taluka, Raigad district on Friday. Anchal Dalal, Raigad Superintendent of Police said, "The Pakistani boat's fishing net buoy was being searched for the past six days by multiple security agencies along Revdanda, Alibaug, Murud, Korlai and Mandwa beaches. Bomb detector devices were used to search for the buoy along the coastline. On Friday, the buoy was found washed ashore at Korlai beach. The GPS tracking system in the buoy would get activated in sunlight and the GPS signalling has been tracked to Pakistan, thus confirming that the buoy was of a Pakistani fishing boat to keep the fishing net afloat and the GRP tracker in the buoy is meant for tracking fishing activities. However, the buoy got detached during navigation and drifted and reached the sea in Raigad." While the Raigad police were searching for the Pakistani buoy, it was found that about 287 fishing boats in Raigad district were unauthorized.

Suspicious Pak boat off Raigad coast turns out to be buoy
Navi Mumbai: Raigad police beefed up security along the coastline after the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Delhi informed the ICG at Murud in Raigad district that a suspicious 'Pakistani' fishing boat has been spotted in the Arabian Sea about 3 nautical miles near Korlai Fort in Murud taluka on Sunday around 9pm. However, after a police probe, it was learnt that it was not a boat but a fishing net buoy or floater, which is attached to a fishing boat to keep the net afloat. The buoy had accidentally detached from some fishing boat and drifted away about five months ago, said Raigad superintendent of police Anchal Dalal. As GPS trackers are usually installed in buoys used for fishing activity, efforts are being taken to trace it. The ICG, along with helicopters, and more than 600 police personnel are also patrolling the coastline to trace the buoy. A similar incident was reported by the ICG on Jan 3 off the Okha coast in Gujarat.

Raigad police immediately set into action. Two teams of Rapid Response Force and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad were despatched with instructions to carry out patrolling and search operations. A total of 19 armed cops were deployed at various checkpoints in the coastal and creek areas. All vehicles were checked during nakabandi, and even hotels, lodges and resorts were checked. Instructions were also given to local fishermen and citizens to look out for suspicious boats. "Following the information received, efforts were made to locate the missing boat in coordination with the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, Maharashtra Maritime Board, Customs department, and fisheries department.
