India Seeks Resolution for Stranded Indian Seafarers in Iran and Pakistan
India is addressing the situations of Indian seafarers stranded abroad, including Akshay Harish in Iran and six sailors at Karachi Port, Pakistan. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued an emergency travel certificate for Harish, who lost his passport and documents, facilitating his repatriation. Meanwhile, the six sailors in Karachi face a prolonged dispute between their employer and the ship owner, preventing disembarkation until a replacement crew arrives. India has engaged diplomatically with Pakistan and shipping companies to resolve these issues.
