The Sri Lankan Navy recently detained 11 Tamil Nadu fishermen for allegedly crossing the maritime boundary while fishing. This incident follows the release of 13 fishermen on March 20 who were also held by the Sri Lankan authorities. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has expressed worries about the escalating number of arrests of Indian fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy and has called upon the Indian government to address the issue promptly. The fishermen were taken into custody and are currently being investigated at the Kangesanthurai camp. This development has once again highlighted the ongoing tensions between India and Sri Lanka regarding fishing rights in the region. The repeated instances of fishermen from Tamil Nadu being apprehended by the Sri Lankan Navy have strained the relations between the two countries. The Chief Minister’s plea for intervention from the Centre underscores the urgency of finding a lasting solution to prevent such incidents in the future. The situation remains delicate, and swift diplomatic actions are required to ensure the safety and well-being of Indian fishermen operating in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
