Twelve Indian fishermen remanded till Sep 20 for poaching
Twelve Indian fishermen who were arrested by Navy for poaching in Sri Lanka’s waters off Alampil, Mullaitivu last evening remanded till September 20 by Mullaithivu Magistrate Court today.
The apprehension was made during a special operation carried out by the Navy to chase away Indian trawlers poaching in the island's waters, via the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) yesterday, according to the Navy.
The seized Indian trawler and 12 of its fishermen were brought to the Naval Dockyard, Trincomalee as of now and they will be handed over to the Fisheries Inspector of Trincomalee for onward legal proceedings.
Navy said it continues to carry out regular patrols in its waters to prevent illegal fishing practices of foreign fishermen, with a view to curbing its impact on the local fishing community and taking into account the consequences of such practices on the marine environment of Sri Lanka.
