Lankan Navy apprehends 5 Tamil Nadu fishermen

News

While the 60-days ban this year on fishing by mechanized boats and trawlers along the East coast continues, fishermen doing their daily fishing with country-craft (Naattu Padagu), ran into trouble in the early hours of Monday, the Deccan Chronicle reported.

As many as five fishermen who put out to sea this morning on their country-craft from Thangachimadam in Rameswaram island, were apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy on the charge of crossing the International maritime boundary line, the report claimed.

According to reports the five fishermen were fishing in the Gulf of Mannar area between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar when they were taken into custody by the Navy patrol boat and taken to Mannar in Northern Sri Lanka for interrogation.
