The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) yesterday detained one Sri Lankan national from Tamil Nadu's Dhanuskodi district for crossing the border, Indian media reported.
The Sri Lankan national has been identified as Nataraja Siyamalan, 35, a resident of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka, the ANI news agency reported.
Siyamalan's custody comes days after 18 Tamil Nadu fishermen were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy for allegedly fishing in their waters near Katchatheevu Island, the report claimed. The apprehended Indian fishermen are natives of Tamil Nadu's Rameswaram and Mandapam districts.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
