Of course, she will because she is a responsible Chief Minister who worries on safety and lives of her fishermen. That is natural and acceptable. Even when our fishermen get caught to Indian coast guard while stealing fish in Indian waters our ministers also do the same.

Good work Navy.

One has to wonder, with all these 'fishermen' straying into our waters, are some people testing our borders to start another conflict???
