Lankan navy opens fire in air to chase away Indian fishermen

Rameswaram, Tamilnadu Jul 17 (UNI) Sri Lankan Naval personnel allegedly fired a couple of warning shots in the air to chase away Indian fishermen and damaged fishing nets of at least 30 fishing trawlers in a mid sea attack near the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), today.

''The fishermen hailing from Rameswaram and Pamban were forced to retreat, after the Sri Lankan naval personnel fired in the air to frighten our men and blocked their passage in the Palk Strait for fishing activities,'' said N J Bose, President of Rameswaram Port Mechanized Boat Fishermen Association.
