Chennai, 13 July (H.S.) : The Sri Lankan Navy has arrested seven Indian fishermen for allegedly crossing the maritime border into Sri Lankan waters. The incident occurred recently, with the fishermen reportedly unaware of the boundary.
The arrested fishermen are currently being held by the Sri Lankan authorities, who are investigating the matter. This incident is not isolated, as Indian fishermen frequently face challenges navigating the maritime border.
Diplomatic channels are likely to be engaged to address the situation and secure the release of the arrested fishermen. Efforts will be made to ensure their safe return to India while also resolving issues related to fishing rights and maritime boundaries.
