The Sri Lankan Navy on Tuesday arrested 24 Indian fishermen and seized four boats near Gulf of Mannar. The Indian National Fish workers Forum (NFF) had earlier appealed to Union Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj to take steps to release 35 Indian fishermen who have been languishing in prisons in Sri Lanka. The NFF also demanded that the Centre arrange a meeting between the fishermen of the two countries, officials of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and the North and East provinces in Sri Lanka and find a solution to the problems faced by them through dialogue.
