India Bars Pakistani Ships From Entering Its Ports
Delhi/Hyderabad, May 3 (Maxim News): After banning all imports from Pakistan, India on Saturday barred Pakistan-flagged ships from entering any of its ports, following the barbaric attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which took 26 lives.
According to a directive from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Pakistan-flagged ships have been banned from entering Indian ports. The directive also prohibited India-flagged vessels from docking at ports in Pakistan.
Citing national security concerns, the directive was implemented to “ensure the safety of Indian assets, cargo and related infrastructure, in public interest and for the interest of Indian shipping.”
The directive is effective immediately and will remain in force until further notice. “The objective of the Act is to foster the development and ensure the efficient maintenance of an Indian mercantile marine, in a manner best suited to serve national interests.” the order issued by the ministry said.
“A ship bearing the flag of Pakistan shall not be allowed to visit any Indian port, and an Indian -flagged ship shall not visit any ports of Pakistan,” the order further stated.
According to the Ministry, the action has been taken in the interest of “safety of Indian assets, cargo, and connected infrastructure”, as well as to further the objectives of Indian shipping. Any exemption from the order will be examined and decided on a case-by-case basis. (Maxim News)
