The president of the Cooperative Society of Fishermen, Fatima Majeed, expressed pain for the incident and said that the appropriate rescue efforts had prevented a greater loss of lives. She extended condolences to the afflicted family.
At the end of July, the body of a young fisherman, Zeeshan, was recovered and delivered to his family when he left the city’s coastal fishing center, Ibrahim Hyderi, in a state of shock.
The discovery came only one day after his father’s funeral, Ayub, who had drowned along with other fishermen when his boat overturned near Gwadar with strong winds.
The consecutive losses left the fishing community very close in deep shock and mourning.
