Five Fishermen Missing After Trawler Collision
Five fishermen are missing after their boat, called FB-Paramita-11, flipped over in the Bay of Bengal.
The boat was carrying 16 fishermen when it hit another boat, which is said to be from the Bangladesh Navy.
The accident happened early in the morning on Monday.
The other boat that was nearby helped save 11 fishermen, but five are still missing.
The Indian Coast Guard is looking for the missing fishermen.
It's not clear if the accident happened in Indian waters or if the Bangladesh Navy boat was in Indian waters without permission.
The fishermen's group wants a thorough investigation.
Five fishermen are missing after their trawler, FB-Paramita-11, capsized in the Bay of Bengal.
The trawler reportedly collided with a Bangladesh Navy ship in low visibility due to dense fog.
Out of 16 fishermen on board, 11 were rescued by another nearby trawler.
The Indian Coast Guard is conducting a search operation for the missing fishermen.
It is unclear whether the collision occurred within Indian waters or if the Bangladesh Navy ship entered Indian waters unauthorized.
