Kolkata, January 29 (IANS): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Indian Coast Guard (ICG)'s co-ordination with Bangladesh authorities, on Thursday, successfully repatriated 23 Indian fishermen along with two Indian fishing boats (IFBs) detained by authorities in that country. The Indian fishermen were detained in Bangladesh for crossing the International Maritime Border Line (IMBL) with the intent to fish in Bangladesh's territorial waters. As part of the reciprocal arrangement, the Indian government released 128 Bangladeshi fishermen and five Bangladesh fishing boats. The Indian fishermen were also handed over to the ICG after necessary documentation. This becomes a major problem during cyclonic weather in the Bay of Bengal, when fishing boats and crew go missing.
