The 23 fishermen arrested and imprisoned by the Sri Lankan Navy would be released within 10 days, according to the Secretary to the prime minister of sri lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa. The fishermen were captured on october 13 by the Sri Lankan Navy for reportedly fishing across the border from the naga and Karaikal districts. 

Both of their boats were taken away from them. A Sri Lankan navy boat capsized off a fishing boat off the coast of Kottaipattinam the day after they were released. Another person may have perished in the sea, according to reports. This occurrence has raised concerns about whether the tamil Nadu fishermen's Mediterranean tragedy would be resolved.

The DMK and AIADMK, tamil Nadu's two main political parties, have both called on the central government to act quickly to free the 23 fishermen detained. MK Stalin, the leader of the DMK and the chief minister of tamil Nadu, has urged prime minister Narendra Modi to intervene and find a permanent solution to the Indian-Sri Lankan fishing dispute. AIADMK co-ordinator O. Panneerselvam mentioned the problem of tamil Nadu fisherman diving into the sea for fear of being assaulted by the Sri Lankan navy in a letter to the Prime Minister.

In the past, border security and surveillance have been blamed for the arrest of tamil Nadu fisherman in the Mediterranean. That time has passed. The fundamental cause for the continued arrests in the Mediterranean is Sri Lankan fishermen's fear that their fisheries supplies will be destroyed. We need to hold further negotiations between the fisherman of the two countries, listen to their problems, and find a smooth solution. The federal government appears to be paying close attention to this situation.

In terms of security, the neighbouring countries of india and sri lanka are interconnected. Despite the fact that relations between South Asian countries may have ramifications for Indo-Sri Lankan relations, the two countries are close friends. Inevitably. In this situation, the central government must heed to tamil Nadu's unified voice and permanently soothe the fishermen's anxieties.
