RAMESWARAM: Six fishermen were injured, two of them seriously, when they were allegedly attacked by Sri Lankan naval personnel, near Katchathivu islet, early this morning.

Officials said Lankan naval personnel beat them with pipes, beer bottles and thick ropes and also cut the nets in several boats. The injured fishermen have been hospitalised.

Union Minister for road transport and highways Oscar Fernandes had stated at Vailankanni yesterday that he would take up the issue of incidents involving repeated attacks on fishermen from Tamil Nadu, with external affairs minister.

About 30 fishermen of this district had lodged a complaint with fisheries department officials on July 13 stating they had been attacked by Lankan naval personnel while fishing off Nagapattinam coast on Friday and that they had taken away fishing nets worth Rs 40 lakh.

The incident had sparked protests by fishermen of over 10 hamlets in the district, who launched an indefinite fast, demanding concrete action from both central and state governments to put a stop to such incidents.
