4,052 stranded Indian seafarers repatriated amid West Asia crisis, says Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonow
Over 4,000 Indian seafarers have been safely repatriated during the West Asia crisis. Emergency response channels handled thousands of calls and emails for seafarer assistance. The government provides financial aid and support to affected seafarer families. An Indian merchant vessel was hit, but all 14 crew members were rescued. India strongly condemns the unprovoked attack on the vessel near Yemeni waters.
