KARACHI - The body of what fishermen say is an estimated 70-foot whale was pushed to the coast of Karachi on Tuesday morning.
Local fishermen in the locality of Ghas Bandar area along the coastal belt said the whale got entangled into their fishing net, and they later dragged the body to the shore with the help of other people.
They said the whale was already dead when it was dragged to the shore early morning by 10 to 12 fishermen on two launches.  The local administration has so far made no comment on the appearance of the whale.
For fear of collision with boats, local fishermen generally view whales as dangerous and maintain a safe distance from them when out in the sea. Last month, a 30 to 40-foot whale was found dead near the coast of Karachi.–inp
