The Sri Lanka Navy and Coast Guard conducted a special operation to chase away Indian trawlers poaching on Sri Lankan waters yesterday and the operation led to the apprehension of 02 Indian trawlers with 15 Indian nationals poaching on Sri Lankan waters off the Delft Island, Jaffna.
The SL Navy continues to conduct regular patrols and operations on Sri Lankan waters to curb illegal fishing practices of foreign trawlers.
As an extension of these efforts, the Northern Naval Command deployed Fast Attack Craft of the 04th Fast Attack Flotilla and craft of the Sri Lanka Coast Guard to chase away a cluster of Indian poaching trawlers, after having spotted them engaging in illegal fishing on Sri Lankan waters off the Delft Island. In this operation, the Navy held 02 Indian poaching trawlers with 15 Indian fishermen continuing to remain on Sri Lankan waters.
The seized trawlers together with the Indian fishermen were brought to the Kankesanthurai Harbour and they will be handed over to the Mailadi Fisheries Inspector for further legal proceedings.
Thus far in 2023, the Sri Lanka Navy has seized 12 Indian poaching trawlers and 74 Indian fishermen on the island's waters and have handed them over to authorities for legal action.

No use and delayed action result in nothing, as the Indian fishermen have already ROBBED our sea area fish, now the FISH scarcity prevailing in Sri Lanka whereby the price of chicken and other meat products rose to an unaffordable hike in price. This is because of Ranil Wickremasinghe's over-the-limit commitments with India that robbs our nations. Therefore, take immediate action to CUT TIES with India and this is high time to do that.

For last 5000 years India treated Sri Lanka as it colony. While showing in the front as a good friend stab at the back. By dropping Parippu in 1978 , also shows the Thuggury. Since we are a small nation we are helpless. Used the Tamil issue also to its advantage. The recent conspiry with help of USA to knee down SL by destroying SL economy, India played a bigger role than any other country. Objective of that project is final take over of SL. Now it is happening.. You will soon see more . Sri.lankans.. Pl start to migrate to India . That is the only solution.. That is what Indians did to UK. Fully colonized and destroyed . colonise the colonizers.!!!!
