Transponders Installed on Uran Fishing Boats

In Uran, near Navi Mumbai, authorities are putting special devices called transponders on fishing boats.

These devices help track the boats and communicate in emergencies.

So far, 400 boats have these devices, which are free and help during storms or rough seas.

Fishermen are happy because it makes their work safer, especially during bad weather.

The devices use satellites to work even where phones don't, making it easier for rescuers to find boats in trouble.

This is part of a bigger plan to keep fishermen safe and protect their livelihoods.
