Fishermen in Sri Lanka would stage a rally to protest against their Indian counterparts allegedly snapping their fishing nets and causing inconvenience to them, Sri Lankan Minister Douglas Devananda today said.    

Lankan fisherman have planned to hold a rally soon in this regard, he said on the sidelines of the St Antony's Church festival, which ended today at Katchatheevu, an islet in the Palk Straits ceded to Sri Lanka by India in 1974.   

More than 2,500 people, mostly fishermen from this coastal town, participated in the two-day annual festival.
