The Border Security Force has foiled an infiltration bid along the Indo-Pakistan border near the Harami Nala in Kutch district of Gujarat, BSF officials said on Tuesday.

"The incident took place last evening when our team saw a fishing boat from the Pakistani side trying to enter the Indian waters near Harami Nala on the West coast of Kutch," BSF Inspector General A K Sinha told PTI.

Sinha said the boat was warned not to enter the Indian territory while it was near Harami Nala but when it did not stop, BSF patrol had to fire at them.

"After short spell of firing rounds the boat made a retreat and went back," Sinha said, adding there were no causalities in the incident.

Harami Nala is a marshy, sluggish and shallow water channel, spread over 500 sq km on the India-Pakistan border in Kutch, which has in the past witnessed many intrusions from Pakistani fishermen.

BSF had foiled an intrusion bid in the same area last month as well.
