Kullu’s Captain Raman Kapoor stranded in Gulf country.
Captain Raman Kapoor from Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, who is stranded in the ‘Persian Gulf’ of the Gulf country, released a video saying that due to the US-Israel and Iran war, there is an atmosphere of terror among 20,000 sailors. Of these, about 2000 are Indian sailors. He said that due to the war in Gulf countries, 500 to 700 ships are stranded in the sea.
Captain Raman said that any ship can be attacked at any time. Especially those ships that have any link with US and Israel, if they start movement. He said that Iran wants that no oil tanker (except India and China) should leave the Persian Gulf to other countries.

His ship is stranded in Persian Gulf: Raman
Captain Raman said that their ship is stuck in the Persian Gulf. They had loaded cargo from Iraq just a few days ago. Their situation is such that they can neither leave nor stay. They have no choice but to remain alert on the ship. Airports and sea routes are closed.
Ships not allowed to proceed forward: Kapoor
Captain Kapoor explained that due to current security conditions, these ships are not being permitted to move forward. As a result, all ships are stranded at one location in the sea and sailors are constantly under stress, trying to maintain contact with their families. Amid uncertain conditions, sailors are worried about their safety and future.

Appeal for Safety Prayers
Captain Raman Kapoor has appealed to the countrymen to pray for the safety of all sailors. He has also requested the Government of India to intervene in this matter and take necessary steps to safely evacuate Indian sailors and ships. He said that his company and crew are continuously supporting them. He said that they pray that this war ends soon so that they can reach home safely.
It should be noted that the war between America-Israel and Iran started from February 28. Today is the 18th day of this battle. But there are no signs of the war ending yet. This has put the sailors under more stress.
