Four Indian fishermen who were engaged in poaching activities in Northern sea were taken into custody last night along with a fishing trawler, the Navy said.
The arrest was made by a Fast Attack Craft attached to the Northern Naval Command, during a patrol conducted in the sea area off the Kachchathivu Island. The four arrested Indian fishermen who are 45, 47, 50 and 51 years of age are expected to be handed over to the Assistant Director of Fisheries in Jaffna for onward action, after a medical examination.
According to the Navy, as a result of continuous patrols conducted by the Navy patrolling units, the number of Indian fishing trawlers that are trespassing the Sri Lankan territorial waters has significantly reduced.
