Seafarers' Union Appeals to PM Modi to Deploy Indian Navy

Seafarers' Union Appeals to PM Modi to Deploy Indian Navy

A group of Indian sailors who work on big ships asked their country's leader, Prime Minister Modi, for help.

The sailors are worried because their jobs are becoming very dangerous.

Far from India, in the Red Sea and nearby waters, ships are being attacked with missiles and drones.

These attacks happen because of fighting between different groups and countries in that part of the world.

Recently, a ship with Indian sailors was attacked near a narrow waterway called the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

The sailors' group wants the Indian Navy to send warships to protect them.

They say Indian sailors are in danger in the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Black Sea.

The group hopes the government will act quickly to keep India's sailors safe.
