August 02, 2014  12:10
In Rameshwaram, fishermen have taken out a rally to the fishing harbour of Katchatheevu. They have threatened to sit on a dharna on the disputed island.

The fishermen are expected to be arrested before they go ahead with their 'sail to Katchatheevu agitation. They have been on strike since July 24, protesting against the continued arrest of fishermen by Sri Lankan navy and confiscation of their boats.

In 1974, India forcibly recognised the Sri Lankan ownership to the island on a conditional agreement.
