Karachi: The Pakistan Navy on Thursday said it rescued nine Indian crew members of a ship from sinking after it capsized in the Arabian Sea. The incident took place on August 9 near the coastal city of Gwadar in Balochistan province when the Indian vessel 'Jamna Sagar' sank, the Pakistan Navy's Director General of Public Relations said in a statement. There were 10 crew members.

According to a statement by the Director General of Public Relations of the Pakistan Navy, the Navy received the news about the ship, following which the Pakistan Maritime Information Centre requested the nearby merchant vessel MT Kruibke to provide necessary assistance to the crew of the Indian ship. The merchant vessel finally rescued nine crew members, the statement said. The Pakistan Navy ship later received the body of a missing crew member, which was handed over to the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency, they said.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka has approved the Chinese-built Pakistani warship PNS Taimur to stay in Colombo. Sri Lanka granted this permission to the Pakistani ship after the Bangladesh government refused to allow it to stop at Chittagong port. The ship is coming here on August 15 to join the Pakistan Navy. Due to the journey from Shanghai to Karachi, the warship was to anchor outside Chittagong port from August 7 to 10. The Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh refused to allow PNS Taimur to stay as the month of August is a month of mourning for PM Sheikh Hasina. Her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated on August 15, 1975.
