Ten fishermen from Rameswaram (a coastal town in Tamil Nadu, southern India) were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy late on Wednesday night, accused of fishing beyond the Katchatheevu islet — a small, disputed island in the Palk Strait that has long been a flashpoint in maritime tensions between the two countries. The fishermen, whose boat was intercepted around 10 p.m., were taken to Talaimannar Naval Port in Sri Lanka and are expected to be produced in court. The arrest has deepened frustration among local fishing communities, who say it came just days after nine other fishermen were detained and that both the central and Tamil Nadu state governments have failed to find a lasting resolution to recurring confrontations in the shared waters.
