Startling revelation
The Indian Coast Guard has told a Chennai High Court that the Sri Lanka Navy has neither trespassed into Indian waters nor attacked Indian fishermen in Indian waters. From January 2014 to March 2015 as many as 36,865 Indian fishing boats poached in Sri Lankan waters.
In a startling disclosure through an affidavit filed by K.R. Nautiyal, Deputy Director General (Operations and Coastal Security) of the Indian Coast Guard, the Coast Guard has said the Indian fishermen are not only showing scant regard for international law but are also engaged in smuggling contraband, including narcotics.
The High Court is hearing a petition filed by a Madurai based lawyer alleging that the Indian Government is not providing security to Tamil Nadu fishermen in the Palk Strait.
