The idea of a resumption of talks between the fishing communities of Tamil Nadu and the Northern Province in Sri Lanka to resolve the fisheries dispute in the Palk Bay is again gaining ground.
K.S. Radhakrishnan, a writer-political activist, in his recently-launched, revised edition of the Tamil book Kanavagipona Katchatheevu - Katchatheevu that became a dream, expresses apprehension that the dispute might assume bigger proportions.
Recalling the previous rounds of talks between the two sides, the author states that the Tamil Nadu fishermen are conscious that their counterparts in the Northern Province are trying to earn a livelihood after having gone through the trauma of a prolonged civil war.
