Fisherman’s body arrives from Pakistan as a rude shock to ‘unprepared’ wife, daughter Gopal Kateshiya © Provided by The Indian Express
At around 3 pm on Friday, 18-year-old Asmita returned home from their agricultural farm in Nanavada village in Kodinar taluka of Gir Somnath district, somewhat hazzled. “Rambhai Bambhaniya is telling me that my father is dead and was asking if his body has arrived,” Asmita told her mother Ranjan.
The mother wasn’t prepared to believe what her young daughter was saying. “But then, she started wailing and I noticed she was serious,” Ranjan says.
It was this moment that members of fisherman Ramesh Sosa’s family had been waiting for the past 42 days to break the news. “I told Ranjan that what Asmita said was true and that Ramesh’s body is arriving by evening,” Dinesh Parmar, husband of Ramesh’s sister Aruna, said.

Peacemongers joyous over resumption of Pakistan-India trade
April 1, 2021
Finally, two years of tense relations between Pakistan and India have seemingly stepped towards normalization, bringing a ray of hope for peacemongers to witness stability and a peaceful environment in the region in times ahead.
The hope was rekindled by a series of events including a much-desired ceasefire at the border, the meeting of the India-Pakistan Permanent Indus Commission, and an exchange of letters by the two prime ministers eying a peaceful coexistence.
It was further consolidated when the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Federal Cabinet in Islamabad on March 31 allowed the commercial import of white sugar from India up to 500,000 metric tons till June 30, 2021 through land and sea routes.
