An infiltration bid by some Pakistani boats was foiled by the Border Security Force (BSF) near the Harami Nala area on the Indo-Pak border in western part of Kutch district, BSF sources said here today.
    
The incident occurred last night when more than one boat from Pakistan side entered Indian waters from the Harami Nala area as the water level was high due to high tide in the Arabian Sea, they said.
    
The BSF patrol which was stationed near the Nala saw the boats and warned them to go back and later opened fire, sources said.
    
According the sources, though the Pakistani boats were out of firing range, the shots acted as a deterrent forcing the boats to retreat.
    
There were no causalities in the incident and no firing from the Pakistan side, they added.
    
Sources further said that generally the boats which cross into Indian side are fishing boats with fishermen, who come in Harami Nala area during high tide to catch fish.
    
Harami Nala is a sluggish and shallow water channel in the remotest creek area, spread over 500 sq km and is used to witness intrusion from Pakistani fishermen.
    
The marshy topography has made it difficult for our troops to react swiftly against infiltration.
    
Last month too, the BSF had foiled an infiltration bid by Pakistani boat in the same Harmi Nala area.
