Indian Coast Guard to help stranded Lankan fishermen
Indian Coast Guard personnel have consented to intervene in order to save six Sri Lankan fishermen who were stranded in international waters for seven days.
These six fishermen had set out to sea from Nilwella in Matara on May 10. The vessel carrying the fishermen had experienced engine failure in international waters seven days ago. Relatives and friends of the stranded fishermen had then tried their best to rescue the group.
The only contact the six fishermen, who are fighting for their lives, have is the fishermen’s radio headquarters.
State Minister of Defence, Ruwan Wijewardene stated that the issue has been brought to the attention of the Navy Commander.
