The Sri Lankan Navy on Saturday arrested 37 Indian fishermen in two separate incidents for crossing the maritime border. This came at a time when Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urged Union minister S Jaishankar to secure the release of 12 fishermen arrested by the Maldives Coast Guard.
Stalin said the 12 detained fishermen had ventured into the sea for fishing on October 1 from Tharuvaikulam Fish Landing centre in Thoothukudi District, and were detained thereafter.
The foundation stone for the Coast Guard ‘Ekatha Harbour’ was laid by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Maldivian counterpart, Mariya Didi, at Sifavaru in Uthuru Thila Falhu (UTF) atoll, where India is assisting in construction of a naval dockyard.
