Indian Seafarers Face High Risk of Abandonment at Sea

Imagine sailors from India, which is a big supplier of sailors, are often left by their ship owners without pay or help.

This is called being "abandoned" at sea.

It's like being left alone in a dangerous place.

The ship owners sometimes register their ships in countries with loose rules, making it hard to know who is responsible.

Also, some Indian sailors pay a lot of money to get their jobs, making it very bad if they don't get paid.

To fix this, India needs to watch out for bad companies and help sailors get their money back, while also teaching sailors about these risks.
