CHENNAI:
Braving the inclement weather, two ships of Indian
Coastguard sailed to the International Maritime Boundary Line to help
repatriate 126 Indian fishermen who were apprehended by Sri Lankan Navy for
fishing in Sri Lankan waters.
The ships sailed to two different places in
Kankesanthurai and Thalaimannar after getting approval from the Ministry of
External Affairs, said a Coastguard spokesman.
Indian Coastguard Offshore Patrol vessel Sagar took over
78 released Indian fishermen from Sri Lankan Navy vessels at international
maritime boundary line (IMBL) off Kankesanthurai and brought them to Karaikal
while ICG ship Rajakamal took over 48 released Indian fishermen from Sri Lankan
Navy vessels off Thalaimannar and brought them to Rameswaram
