Fishermen from coastal areas of Nagapattinam district today did not set out to sea demanding that the Indian and Tamil Nadu governments contain the alleged “high handed” behaviour of Sri Lankan navalmen who they claim frequently cut their fishing nets and damage their boats.
They claim Lankan naval personnel had routinely snapped the nets of several fishermen last week when they were fishing in the Palk Straits, which was not the island nation’s territory.
The fishermen demanded effective intervention by the Union and state governments to put an end to such high handed behaviour of the Lankan navalmen, they were quoted as saying by PTI.
