What is the Controversy of Indo-Pak border near Kutch?

  • The Indo-Pak border near Kutch in Gujarat is controversial since several Pakistani people have been detained in the past after travelling on boats into Indian seas to hunt fish.
  • The BSF captured 22 Pakistani fishermen and seized 79 fishing boats in this Gujarati region in 2022. 250 crore rupees worth of heroin, and 2.49 crore rupees worth of charas.
