Four floating Border Out Posts (BOPs) are operating deep inside the Creek waters for enhanced surveillance round the clock.

A Pakistani boat, which had intruded into Indian waters in Sir Creek area of Kutch, was today seized by the Border Security Force.

"We have seized a Pakistani boat which entered in Sir Creek area. The occupants of the boat managed to escape. It is being brought to the coast," BSF sources said.

The BSF has heightened vigil in the area in view of inputs of increased ISI activities in the creek area, officials said. Four floating Border Out Posts (BOPs) are operating deep inside the Creek waters for enhanced surveillance round the clock, they said.

On August 16, BSF had apprehended nine Pakistani nationals with their boat from the same place which was followed by the arrest of five Pakistani fishermen from the Devri creek area on October 5.
