Eight
fishermen from Tamil Nadu's Pudukottai district were arrested on

The fishermen had ventured to the sea from the
Jegadapattinam fishing harbour on Monday morning, the Tamil Nadu Coastal
Security Group told reporters, adding that they were arrested at 8 a.m.

Dinesh (26), G. Ranjith (27), S. Pakkirasamy (45), S. Kamal (25), S.
Punudhu (41) and M. Karthik (28).
They were taken to the Kankesenthurai naval base in Sri Lanka.
Several

Navy for crossing the IMBL and at Katchatheevu island.
In
protest, the fishermen community had blocked roads Pudukottai and
