In his notice, Tagore mentioned that on February 9, the Sri Lankan Navy detained 14 fishermen from Rameswaram and Thangschimadam for allegedly violating the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL).
«These fishermen, operating from two boats, 'were caught while fishing near the IMBL. Despite no significant evidence of illegal activity, they were arrested and taken to Sri Lanka for legal proceedings,» he said.
The Congress MP also pointed out that it is not an «isolated incident» as in recent weeks, the Sri Lankan Navy has detained Indian fishermen on several occasions, including on February 3 and January 26.
«Moreover, on January 28, a Sri Lankan Navy firing incident near Delft Island injured five Indian fishermen, with two seriously wounded. The persistent arrests and harassment are affecting the livelihood of thousands of fishermen in Tamil Nadu, particularly those in Rameswaram and Mandapam. This situation is causing unnecessary distress to our fishing communities,» Manickam Tagore said.
