Sri Lankan navy arrests 27 Indian fishermen

[Skyline]

COLOMBO: Sri Lankan Navy has arrested 27 Indian fishermen and seized their four trawlers after accusing them of fishing inside the country's maritime area.

Navy spokesman Kosala Warnakulasuriya said that the Indians were arrested last night for "poaching inside Sri Lanka international maritime border limits (IMBL) off the eastern coast".

The boats and the trawlers would be handed over to the police in the harbour town of Trincomalee today for further action, the Navy said.

Early this month, at least 40 Indian fishermen and their four trawlers were repatriated by the Navy after a similar arrest for straying into Sri Lanka's IMBL.

...I think the LTTE supporters and TN fishermen must be thinking along these lines ".......it was better when LTTE was there. Indian fishermen never used to get arrested then. Maybe its time to support LTTE again..."

Nope, even those days LTTE wasn't there in those areas SL Navy operated well and any suspicious boat got stopped by bullets, so no one entered to SL waters.
