NEW DELHI: Similarly, Bangladeshi fishermen have faced apprehension by Indian authorities under similar circumstances. The Indian government however has prioritised the safety, security, and welfare of its fishermen, making concerted efforts to secure their release from Bangladesh custody.

On Thursday, it was announced that 95 Indian fishermen will be handed over by Bangladesh authorities to the Bangladesh Coast Guard on January 5, for subsequent transfer to the Indian Coast Guard. On the same day, 90 Bangladeshi fishermen will also be released in a mutual release and repatriation operation, to be conducted at sea between the respective Coast Guard authorities. This exchange has been arranged with a focus on the humanitarian and livelihood concerns of fishing communities on both sides, ensuring the well-being and livelihoods of those affected by these incidents.
