Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu), Oct 01 (ANI): A delegation of 29 Indian fishermen in Rameswaram left for Sri Lanka on Saturday to retrieve their boats captured by the neighbouring nation’s navy. On Wednesday, a batch of around 50 fishermen, along with seven boats, left for Sri Lanka. Rameswaram Fishermen’s Association leader, P.Jesuraj, said the Government should take necessary steps in order to get their boats released from the Sri Lankan navy and also provide compensation to fishermen for their losses. Fishermen from both the countries often breach the un-demarcated International Maritime Boundary Line in search of catch, leading to arrest and confinement of their boats.
