Reclaim Katchatheve Island from Sri Lanka, NFF urges PM

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 04 Juli 2014 | 22.44

MANGALORE: The National Fishworkers' Forum has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to reclaim Katchatheve Island from Sri Lanka, which was initially belonged to India.

Highlighting the problem of arrests of Indian fishermen for venturing near the island, M Ilango, chairperson of the forum stated in the memorandum to PM to enter into an agreement with the Sri Lankan government for a permanent solution to the above problem and also include the 'term' that both governments would not arrest fishermen of these two countries stating they have crossed their maritime borders, in the agreement.

Requesting PM to take steps to release the fishermen arrested and imprisoned in both the India and Sri Lanka and hand over the seized fishing vessels to the respective fishermen, Ilango urged PM to take steps so fishermen from both countries could carry out fishing activities in the sea between both the countries like in the past.

The Fishermen Welfare Organization has filed a Writ Petition before the Chennai High Court looking for remedies in favour of the Indian Fishermen to do fishing in the sea surface between the Indian and Sri Lankan Countries and to recover the Katchatheve Island from the Sri Lanka, which was initially belonged to India. Ilango stated that when the hearing of the case was posted on July 1, this year, the Additional Solicitor General had filed a Statement stating that 'as per the Agreement entered between the Indian and Sri Lankan Governments in the year 1974 and 1976, the Indian fishermen are not having authorization to do fishing near the Katchatheve Island'. This estimation of the Union Government may be factual as per the Agreement which subsists now.

Ilango stated that during campaigning for the recent Lok Sabha held at Chennai, he had proclaimed that if the BJP heads the Union Government, the issues of Tamil Nadu fishermen would be permanently solved and in this light the forum urged PM's intervention.
