Sri Lanka arrests 11 Indian fishermen

The Sri Lankan navy arrested 11 Indian fishermen and took their boat because they were fishing in Sri Lankan waters.

This happened late at night near a place called Kankesanthurai.

The fishermen are being taken to a place called Myladi for more action.

This area, called the Palk Strait, is a common place for such incidents because it's a good place for fishing for both Indian and Sri Lankan fishermen.

Sometimes, the Sri Lankan navy even shoots at Indian fishermen in this area.

The fishermen issue is a sensitive topic between India and Sri Lanka.

There are 73 fishermen and 251 boats in Sri Lankan custody, causing hardship for the fishing communities in Tamil Nadu.

The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has asked the Indian government to help release them.
