Havelock, August 11: The Burmese Poacher has robbed an engine dinghy of Fishermen on 07/08/2016 namely Naren Sikdar and Amit Sarkar, a resident of Havelock Island.
As per reports, fishermen Naren Sikdar and Amit Sarkar went for fishing on 07/08/2016 at Outram Island and after berthing the dinghy both went to the sea shore of Outram Island and were fishing there using the fishing net.
While they both were fishing on the seashore they saw 2-3 Burmese Poachers approached to their Dinghy and after cutting the rope they took their dinghy.
However, it is learnt that yesterday evening an another fisherman namely Ajit Sarkar who went for fishing at the Outram Island noticed both the stranded fishermen in the island and later he brought them back to the Havelock Island at around 08:30pm yesterday.
A missing complaint has been registered at the Havelock Police Station, it is learnt and a team of Police has started the search operation of the boat. Further details are awaited.
However, this incident raises many questions over the security network of Andaman & Nicobar Command around these islands.
The million dollar question is that even after having a 3 tier surveillance system of ANC around these Islands how come Burmese poachers entered so close to Havelock Islands.
