India yet to respond to charges; third Male-Delhi meet this month

THE Maldivian government has sought an explanation from India on Indian Coast Guard personnel entering the Maldives’ exclusive economic zone on Wednesday and boarding three fishing vessels.
According to some videos that have surfaced on social media, the authenticity of which could not be affirmed, there are Indian coastguards seen entering Maldivian vessels. Reports suggest that the Indian men were allegedly armed and boarded ‘Maahoara 3,’ ‘Asuruma 3,’ and ‘Niru 7’.
India hasn’t yet responded to these allegations.
