The President of the Fishermen Cooperative Society, Fatima Majeed, expressed his pain in the incident and said that timely rescue efforts had prevented new loss of linked lives. She has carried out condolences to the bereaved family.
At the end of July, the body of a young fisherman, Zeeshan, was found and handed over to his family when he left the city’s coastal fishing center, Ibrahim Hyderi, in shock.
The discovery only occurred after the burial of his father, Ayub, who had drowned with other fishermen when their boat capsized near Gwadar by strong winds.
The consecutive losses have left the community of united fishermen in depth and in mourning.
