Rameswaram/Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay wrote to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday, seeking the Centre's urgent diplomatic intervention in the arrest of nine Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu and the seizure of their mechanised boat by the Sri Lankan Navy while they were purportedly fishing off Katchatheevu.
Highlighting the recurring detentions, CM Vijay requested Jaishankar to take up the matter with the Sri Lankan government to secure the early release of the fishers and their vessel.
