With tensions between India and Pakistan escalating into a near-war-like situation, coastal security in Mumbai has been significantly intensified. Authorities are now gathering detailed data on all fishing boats, sailors, and crew members venturing out to sea. Updated mobile numbers of fishermen are also being recorded to ensure effective communication in case of emergencies.

A joint meeting was recently held by the Sagari police, Indian Coast Guard, Indian Navy, and the Maharashtra Fisheries Department. Fishermen have been strictly advised to steer clear of the Gujarat maritime border near international waters and remain within designated fishing zones.
