Supreme Court Urges Sensitisation of Fishermen on Sri Lankan Maritime Boundaries
The Supreme Court has directed the Centre and Tamil Nadu governments to sensitise fishermen about respecting the maritime boundary to prevent arrests by Sri Lankan authorities. The court noted that declining fish stocks on the Indian side have led fishermen to cross into Sri Lankan waters near Katchatheevu island. Attorney General R Venkataramani highlighted overfishing and pollution in Indian waters, while the court observed Sri Lanka's stricter coastal protection. The court emphasized the need for awareness to reduce tensions and protect fishermen.
