Nine Indian fishermen caught while poaching in Lankan waters
Nine Indian fishermen in a fishing trawler were apprehended in the sea northwest of Delft Island, Navy media said.
“The Indian fishermen were trespassing into Sri Lankan waters crossing the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL). The entire operation was carried out adhering to COVID-19 preventive guidelines and the Indian nationals were between 18 to 52 years of age. They had 500kg of illegally caught fish and other fishing accessories in the trawlers,” the Navy said.
The Indians along with their trawler and seized items were handed over to the Assistant Director of Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Jaffna for further legal action.
The Navy said it will continue to patrol the island's waters in an attempt to prevent illegal fishing practices of foreign fishermen.
