Tamil Nadu fishermen to be repatriated
Four Tamil Nadu fishermen found in distress in Sri Lankan waters on
November 23 will be repatriated to India, Navy sources said.
The fishing trawler, bearing the registration number TN 10 MFB 912,
had broached on a reef in the Mallikal Beach Area North-West of Delft
due to engine and steering failure. Its hull had been partially damaged
on impact and the sea water had started to leak in.
The four fishermen, aged 27, 33, 33 and 40 are residents of Narachchi
Labernagar, Ramanathapuram and Tamil Nadu, now under way to repatriate
them. |
