TN will exert pressure on Centre on getting lasting solution for fishermen woes with Sri Lanka

Chennai, June 16 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu will continue to exert pressure on the Centre to prevail upon the Sri Lanka to arrive at a lasting solution to the fishermen issue and will also continue to strive for retrieval of Katchatheevu, an islet ceded to Sri Lanka through an agreement in 1974 and 1976. Governor K Rosaiah said today.
Delivering his maiden address to the newly constituted 15th Legislative Assembly here, he said the frequent arrests and harassment of fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy while fishing in their traditional waters must be ended and their right to livelihood, safety and security ensured.
''The State government will continue to urge the Centre to prevail upon Sri Lanka to arrive at a lasting solution to the fishermen issue'', he added.
