A fisherman from Gwadar, Sarwar Baloch, has been missing for two days along with his son and a crew member after setting out for fishing near Piddi Zir. Neither the boat nor its occupants have been sighted since their departure.
According to local journalist accounts, the boat’s owner launched a search operation involving multiple vessels from Gwadar, Ganz, Jiwani, and Pasni in an effort to locate the missing men.
It is important to note that cold winds and rough seas have been reported in the area over the past two days, raising concerns about their safety.
Fellow fishermen suggested the boat may have experienced engine failure or could have drifted farther out to sea due to strong waves. Locals criticized government and district authorities, alleging they receive limited support or timely weather alerts to prevent such incidents.
The case highlights the challenges faced by Gwadar’s fishing community, who often venture into potentially hazardous waters to earn a living. Authorities have been urged to strengthen efforts to find the missing fishermen and to offer immediate support to their families.
