The Indian Coast Guard on Tuesday handed over 32 Bangladeshi fishermen who were rescued from sea to the Bangladesh Coast Guard.
The fishermen were transferred from the ICGS Varad to the BCGS Tajuddin at a ceremony held at the Indo-Bangla International Maritime Boundary Line.
“These fishermen were rescued from sea after their boats had capsized during cyclonic weather/depression, which travelled along the coast of Bangladesh and West Bengal between August 19-20,” the ICG said in a statement.
