'Five have died while one survived,' he said. PFF Chairman Mehran Ali Shah, speaking to media at Ayub's funeral, said the fishing community faces daily risks at sea to provide for their families. 'When they are unable to fish, they are left with hunger and poverty,' he added. He demanded the Sindh government set up rescue centres along the coast and provide speedboats to ensure timely responses during maritime emergencies. Shah also urged the Fishermen Cooperative Society and relevant authorities to offer immediate financial aid to the victims' families. 'Sindh's fishermen contribute over Rs24 billion in taxes annually. It's time the government invests in their safety,' he said.

2 days after arrest by ATS, youth's landlady, employer, clueless about his ‘Al Qaeda link'
Two days after the Gujarat ATS arrested four persons from Gujarat, Delhi and UP for their alleged links to banned terror outfit Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), officials Thursday said that one of the accused had been working at a mobile phone repair shop in Chhijarsi village in UP's Noida for the last one month. Senior police officers said that they had no prior intelligence about the 25-year-old, identified as Zeeshan Ali, who hails from Meerut. The ATS had said that the four accused were allegedly using social media to radicalise and recruit people, and encourage them to adopt extremist ideologies. Zeeshan had been seen frequently at Sainik Communication, from where he was picked up. Shop owner, Mohammad Asad, who is currently in Meerut, told The Indian Express that he had no idea about Zeeshan's alleged link to the terror outfit. 'I hired him as he belonged to a village near my maternal hometown in Meerut. He would be at the shop in my absence,' he said. Shopkeepers of the neighbouring shops recalled that Zeeshan would mostly play games on his phone. According to locals, on July 7, he had rented a room in Chotpur, just across the road. Khurseedha, the woman who rented him the room, said: 'He paid Rs 2,500 in advance. I had asked for his Aadhaar and he had said he would bring it. He never really stayed so we had no idea what he was involved in.' Other residents of the area said they last saw him five days ago and claimed that he would often arrive on different bikes.

Gujarat ATS arrests Meerut man from Noida mobile shop over alleged Al-Qaeda links
A 25-year-old youth, who worked as a helper at a mobile phone shop in Noida's Chhijarsi village, was among four people arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Tuesday night for alleged links to the banned outfit Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The accused was identified as Zeeshan Ali, a native of Meerut. In a statement, the Gujarat ATS claimed that they identified the four individuals who were using social media to radicalise and recruit vulnerable people and incite them to adopt extremist ideologies. Noida Police officials confirmed Zeeshan was arrested by the Gujarat ATS after alerting them. They, however, had no prior intelligence about him, the officers said. Zeeshan was picked up from the mobile repair shop on Chhijarsi road. The shop owner, Mohammad Asad, currently visiting family in Meerut, told The Indian Express that he had no idea about Zeeshan's alleged activities. 'I hired him because he belonged to a village near my maternal village in Meerut. He didn't talk much,' he said. Fardeen, from an adjacent shop, said: 'He was coming to the shop for 20–25 days. He first visited to get his phone fixed, became friends with the owner since both were from Meerut. He started working here, but didn't do much. He was mostly playing games on his phone. He looked normal, so no one asked questions.' Another shopkeeper said, 'He said he was from Ashram Road, Meerut. He would sit at the shop all day, play on his phone. The owner was also from Meerut, so they got along. He told us he had another job too, but it seems unlikely because he would drop in at random hours.' According to locals, Zeeshan initially stayed in Chhijarsi, but on July 7, he rented a room in Chotpur, just across the road near the Hindon river. Khurseedha, the woman who rented him the room, said: 'He paid Rs 2,500 in advance. I asked for his Aadhaar, to which he said he will bring it. He came only two or three times and wasn't sleeping here. He came once to collect his fan for repair. He never really stayed so we had no idea what he was involved in.'
