Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.

Referring to the latest incident where the island republic’s Navy had arrested 23 Tamil Nadu fishermen “who accidentally strayed into Sri Lankan waters”, she said she was “distressed” and sought the Prime minister’s intervention for their immediate release.
“I am distressed to note that the Sri Lankan Navy has again taken into custody 23 fishermen along with five boats because they strayed accidentally into Sri Lankan waters. I seek your kind intervention in this issue and request you to ensure that the Sri Lankan government releases the fishermen immediately,” she said in a letter to Dr. Singh.
