Chief Minister of Tamil Nadhu Jayalalithaa on Wednesday requested the Centre to take expeditious steps to secure the release of six fishermen belonging to Tamil Nadu captured by the Sri Lankan Navy.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she urged him to direct the Ministry of External Affairs to also secure the release of 68 fishing boats and nets. Bringing to his notice two incidents of three fishermen each from Kottaipattinam in Pudukottai district and Sethubavachatram in Thanjavur district being captured by the Sri Lankan Navy, Ms. Jayalalithaa said “these incidents are a rude shock, coming as they do, when Tamil Nadu is eagerly awaiting the home coming of the 104 fishermen whose release has been announced after several months of incarceration in Sri Lankan Jails.” ( The Hindu)
