Eight Sri Lankan nationals, including an 18-month-old baby, arrived at Aruchalmunai in Rameswaram in the early hours of Tuesday.
With this, the total number of Sri Lankans, who have reached Tamil Nadu due to economic crisis, has crossed 100.
The police said they belonged to three different families in Jaffna and paid ₹5 lakh to a fibre boat operator for reaching Rameswaram. The Coastal Security Group police have taken them into custody.
