Release poor fishmans, impound the boats. Until the owner appeared himself by person do not release the boat. Impose a heavy cash penalty to release the boat. If the boat engage in bottom trawling increase the penalty by four fold.,

This is a joke. They should be fined and the boats confiscated. The Indians think SL belongs to them and they can walk all over us.

These Indian fisherman must be thinking Sri Lanka is already a state if India because our stupid and corrupt leaders have already surrendered to Emperor Modi.
