The boat had left the Malpe Fisheries Harbour with about 20 other boats for deep sea fishing on December 13.

In a press release issued here on Tuesday, Ms. Karandlaje said that the last communication from the missing boat had been traced to a place near Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra. Hence, pressure had also been put on the Maharashtra government to trace the missing boat and the fishermen.

She had met the personal secretary of the Union Minister for External Affairs and also sought the help of the Ministry in tracing the boat. She would meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi on Wednesday on this issue. All possible efforts would be made to trace the missing boat, Ms. Karandlaje said.
