Indian fishermen in more than 600 fishing boats returned without fishing at Rameswaram here after Sri Lankan Naval personnel allegedly pelted stones
and bottles to prevent them from crossing the International Maritime Boundary Line near Katchativu, fisheries department officials said today.

Stones and glass pieces were found strewn in more than 30 boats, and fishermen in more than 600 boats had to return last night without fishing, they said. Katchatheevu is an islet ceded to Sri Lanka by India in 1974.

The fishermen claimed they could not get any fish in the Indian waters.
