India Safely Navigates 60 Ships Through Strait of Hormuz During Crisis

The Indian government has successfully helped 60 cargo ships travel safely through the Strait of Hormuz during a period of high tension in the Gulf region. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, and many ships carrying oil, food, and other important goods pass through it every day. Due to rising security concerns in the region, many countries closely monitored the movement of ships.

Despite the difficult situation, all 60 Indian-linked cargo vessels completed their journey safely. These ships were carrying essential goods needed for trade and daily life. The government worked closely with shipping companies, port authorities, and other agencies to ensure the vessels faced no major problems while passing through the sensitive waterway.

Replying to a question in Parliament, the government said that 3,972 Indian sailors working on ships in the Gulf region were safely brought back to India. These sailors had been working in areas affected by the security situation, and the government took steps to ensure their safe return.

To support Indian seafarers, the government also set up a 24-hour emergency control system. This round-the-clock helpline allowed sailors and shipping companies to quickly report emergencies, seek assistance, and receive updates whenever needed. Officials remained in constant contact with ships to provide help and respond to any problems without delay.

The government said these efforts helped protect Indian sailors and ensured the safe movement of cargo during a challenging period. The successful operation highlights India’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens working overseas and maintaining the smooth flow of international trade, even during times of regional uncertainty.
