Sri Lanka Navy Release The 77 Indian Fishermen
Navy today facilitated repatriation of 77 Indian fishermen, who were released from Sri Lankan custody as a gesture of goodwill, after detaining them for poaching in the island’s territorial waters.
It was reported that these fishermen were apprehended on separate occasions by the Sri Lanka Navy and Coast Guard in the northern seas for illegally venturing into Sri Lankan waters and engaging in bottom trawling, a destructive fishing method.
The Indian fishermen were handed over to the Indian Coast Guard this evening, at the International Maritime Boundary Line north of Kankasanthurai.
