New Delhi. The Forward Seamen’s Union of India has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing concern over the safety of Indian seafarers stranded in conflict-torn waters of West Asia. Immediate intervention has been demanded to save them. Union general secretary Manoj Yadav said a large number of Indian crew members are stranded on several ships in the region. He said that a total of 22 of our Indian ships are stranded in the conflict area and there are also some Iranian and foreign ships carrying Indian crew members. About 23 thousand Indian sailors are stranded in the conflict zone, out of which only a few have been rescued so far. The rest are still stuck there.

Manoj Yadav, general secretary of Forward Seamen Union of India, said that the union has established contact with some sailors, who have appealed for immediate rescue. He said that we have written two letters to PM Modi on this issue. Although some sailors have been safely brought back to India, many more are still stranded on ships in Iranian and Israeli waters. Yadav also expressed concern over the condition of the people on board the ships and said that they had only limited amount of luggage left. He said that there is now only about a month’s worth of food left on the ships, which is now becoming very scarce. Indian sailors aboard Iranian ships do not even know whether the attacks on them are from Iran or Israel. This development has come to light when the Indian LPG carrier Nanda Devi reached Vadinar port in Jamnagar, Gujarat a few days ago. The ship was carrying 46,500 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas, which was to be transferred ship-to-ship at the anchorage.
