Indian Naval Ship Khanjar brings back 36 stranded Indian fishermen
The fishermen were onboard three fishing vessels, which were towed by INS Khanjar for more than 30 hours in challenging sea conditions.
At least 11 Indian fishermen along with their trawlers have been detained by the Sri Lankan Navy, the military said on Sunday.
The fishermen from Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu were arrested on Saturday while fishing near Sri Lanka’s Neduntheevu island.
They were found illegally fishing in Sri Lankan waters northwest off the coast of Jaffna’s Delft islet, the navy said.
Around 3,500 fishermen in 634 boats had put out to sea from Rameswaram last night.
