March 16, 2013

A day after a Sri Lankan court ordered their release, 34 Tamil Nadu fishermen, who were taken into custody by the Island Navy for trespassing into their waters, arrived in Rameswaram tonight.        

 

The fishermen along with their five boats were earlier handed over to the Indian Coast Guard at the International Maritime Boundary Line by the Lankan Navy, officials said. After India lodged a protest against detention of its fishermen, a court in the island nation had yesterday ordered their release.
