Sri Lankan Navy arrests 23 Rameswaram fishermen, impound two mechanised boats; fishermen associations threaten to boycott Lok Sabha election

The Hindu  

Sri Lankan Navy personnel on February 3 arrested 23 fishermen, belonging to Rameswaram and Thangachimadam, and impounded two of their mechanised boats at a point near Neduntheevu on charges of poaching. The boats, belonging to J. Sahayaraj and A. James, in which 23 fishermen were engaged in fishing in the mid-sea, were held by the Sri Lankan Navy personnel on Saturday night. Meanwhile, fishermen leader Jesu Raja told The Hindu on Sunday that in the recent past, arresting the fishermen along the Palk Bay waters by the Sri Lankan Navy had become a regular affair. The meeting passed a resolution to get the 150 impounded mechanised boats lying in Sri Lankan Ports without any delay as it would rescue the fishermen from the debts.
