CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Governor K. Rosaiah today reiterated the state government's resolve to regain Katchatheevu, an island ceded to Sri Lanka through an accord, to restore the lost rights of the fisheremen.

Delivering his maiden address to the State Assembly, Dr. Rosaiah said the government was deeply concerned about the continuing attacks and harassment of fishermen of the State by the Sri Lankan Navy. ''Despite our protests, such incidents are being repeated'', he said, and urged the Centre to take up the issue with Sri Lanka in strong terms.

Observing that all efforts would be taken to protect the traditional fishing rights of Tamil Nadu fishermen in the Palk Bay area and ensure their safety and security, the Governor said the government would take all steps to regain Katchatheevu and restore the lost right of the fishermen.
