The Pakistani government has decided to investigate the recent boat tragedy off the coast of Morocco. A team of four people will go to Morocco to look into what happened. The team will be led by Salman Chaudhry, the Additional Secretary of the Interior, and will also include Munir Masood, an official from the FIA. The team will also have members from the Foreign Office and the Intelligence Bureau.

The team’s job is to meet with the survivors from Pakistan and find out more about the tragedy. They will also look into claims that Pakistani citizens were hurt or killed during the incident. This decision was made after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif formed a committee to look into the boat accident that took the lives of several Pakistanis.

The boat, carrying 80 people, including many Pakistanis, sank near the Moroccan city of Dakhla. The boat had left Mauritania and was on its way to Morocco when it sank. The Foreign Office of Pakistan confirmed the tragedy and said that some survivors were taken to a camp near Dakhla. The Pakistan Embassy in Morocco is working with local authorities and has sent a team to help the survivors.

A rights group called Walking Borders said that 44 of the people who drowned in the tragedy were from Pakistan. The group’s leader, Helena Maleno, said that the migrants spent 13 days at sea without anyone helping them.

Spanish rescue services said they were informed about the boat on January 10. They knew the boat had left Mauritania and was having problems, but they are not sure if it was the same boat that sank.
