India has taken serious note of the PMSA resorting to unprovoked firing on the Indian fishing boat and is going to take up this issue diplomatically with the Pakistan side, official sources in Delhi earlier said.
Residents of Vadrai village in Maharashtra's Palghar district observed a bandh on Monday to protest the killing of a native fisherman by the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) off the Gujarat coast.
All shops and other establishments remained closed and public buses and auto-rickshaws stayed off roads in the village, following the bandh call given by local panchayat which condemned the killing of fisherman Sridhar Ramesh Chamre (32) in the firing on Saturday.
Chamre is survived by wife, two daughters aged 6 and 8, and parents.
"The situation in the village is currently peaceful," Satpati police station's assistant police inspector Sudhir Daherkar said.
